Singular perturbation near mode-coupling transition

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the simplest mode-coupling equation which describes the time correlation function of the spherical p-spin glass model. We formulate a systematic perturbation theory near the mode-coupling transition point by introducing multiple time scales. In this formulation, the invariance with respect to the dilatation of time in a late stage yields an arbitrary constant in a leading order expression of the solution. The value of this constant is determined by a solvability condition associated with a linear singular equation for perturbative corrections in the late stage. The solution thus constructed provides exactly the alpha-relaxation time.
