A statistical-mechanical theory of self-diffusion in colloidal suspensions is presented. A renormalized linear Langevin equation is derived from a nonlinear Langevin equation by employing the Tokuyama–Mori projection operator method. The friction constant is thus shown to be renormalized by...

A statistical-mechanical theory of slow dynamics near the glass transition in two kinds of glass-forming systems, (M) molecular systems and (S) suspensions of colloids, is presented from a unified point of view based on the Tokuyama–Mori projection operator method. The exact diffusion...

A statistical-mechanical theory of self-diffusion in glass-forming liquids is presented. A non-Markov linear Langevin equation is derived from a Newton equation by employing the Tokuyama–Mori projection operator method. The memory function is explicitly written in terms of the force-force...
