Breakdown of a renormalized perturbation expansion around mode-coupling
theory of the glass transition    [PDF]

Grzegorz Szamel, Elijah Flenner, Hisao Hayakawa

We analyze a renormalized perturbation expansion around mode-coupling theory of the glass transition. We focus on the long-time limit of the irreducible memory function. We discuss a renormalized diagrammatic expansion for this function and re-sum two infinite classes of diagrams. We show that the resulting contributions to the irreducible memory function diverge at the mode-coupling transition.
