Abstract
A self-consistent mode coupling model for supercooled fluids is derived from fluctuating nonlinear hydrodynamics (extended to short wavelengths) with attention to detailed balance constraints. The sharp glass transition predicted by mode coupling models based only on pressure nonlinearities does not occur here. Instead, the long time asymptotic behavior of the density autocorrelation function is determined by additional nonlinearities imposed by the detailed balance constraints.Keywords
