Event details
I will introduce some recent work on the mode-coupling theory (MCT) of the glass transition. In particular, I will look at the response of the theory to changes in the structure of the glass-forming liquid. This technique brings out the important lengthscales in MCT in quite a clear way, as well as producing some topologically interesting graphs (see title). I will conclude by discussing the interpretation and possible applications of our results.
