An exactly solvable toy model that mimics the mode coupling theory of supercooled liquid and glass transition
A toy model is proposed which incorporates the reversible mode coupling
mechanism responsible for ergodic-nonergodic transition with trivial
Hamiltonian in the mode coupling theory (MCT) of structural glass transition.
The model can be analyzed without relying on uncontrolled approximations
inevitable in the current MCT. The strength of hopping processes can be easily
tuned and the ideal glass transition is reproduced only in a certain range of
the strength. On the basis of the analyses of our model we discuss about a
sharp ergodic-nonergodic transition and its smearing out by "hopping".Comment: 5 pages, 2 ps-figures, inappropriate terms replace

Density Expansion for the Mobility in a Quantum Lorentz Model
We consider the mobility of electrons in an environment of static hard-sphere
scatterers, which provides a realistic description of electrons in Helium gas.
A systematic expansion in the scatterer density is carried to second order
relative to the Boltzmann result, and the analytic contribution at this order
is derived, together with the known logarithmic term in the density expansion.
It is shown that existing experimental data are consistent with the existence
of the logarithmic term in the density expansion, but more precise experiments
are needed in order to unambiguously detect it. We show that our calculations
provide the necessary theoretical information for such an experiment, and give
a detailed discussion of a suitable parameter range.Comment: 17pp., REVTeX, 7 figure attached as 8 postscript files, db/94/
