Abstract
An overview is given of recent tests of the mode-coupling theory for the evolution of structural relaxation in glass-forming liquids. Emphasis is put on comparisons between the leading-order asymptotic formulae derived for the dynamics near glass transition singularities and the results of neutron scattering, depolarized light scattering, impulsive stimulated light scattering and dielectric-loss spectroscopy for conventional liquids. The tests based on photon-correlation spectroscopy results for the glassy dynamics of colloids and the findings of molecular dynamics simulations for model systems are also considered.
