Abstract

A mode-coupling theory for supercooled liquid dynamics exhibits bifurcation singularities which cause a temperature T_c for the crossover from liquid to glass behaviour. Near T_c the long-time relaxation is a two-step process related to the experimentally known alpha - and beta -relaxation in structural glass formers. The dynamical anomalies predicted by the theory for the two processes are reviewed.
