The mode-coupling theory of the glass transition (MCT) has been at the forefront of fundamental glass research for decades, yet the theory's underlying approximations remain obscure. Here we quantify and critically assess the effect of each MCT approximation separately. Using Brownian dynamics simulations, we compute the memory kernel predicted by MCT after each approximation in its derivation, and compare it with the exact one. We find that some often-criticized approximations are in fact very accurate, while the opposite is true for others, providing new guiding cues for further theory development.

A Shared Observation Shields Collective Fluctuations while Preserving Local Independence
Conditioning an exchangeable population on its own noisy collective record produces a rank-one, nonpositive Schur shield correction to collective fluctuations while keeping pair correlations at O(1/z), giving a calcul...
