We endow a system of interacting particles with two distinct, local, Markovian, and reversible microscopic dynamics that both converge to the Boltzmann-Gibbs equilibrium of standard liquids. While the first, standard, one leads to glassy dynamics, we use field-theoretical techniques to show that the latter displays no sign of glassiness. The approximations we use, akin to the mode-coupling approximation, are famous for magnifying glassy aspects of the dynamics, supposedly through the neglect of activated events.

We extend a previously proposed field-theoretic self-consistent perturbation approach for the equilibrium dynamics of the Dean-Kawasaki equation presented in [Kim and Kawasaki, J. Stat. Mech.

We investigate the equilibrium dynamics of our recently proposed toy model of dense fluid in the infinite damping limit. Contrary to naive expectation, the correlators involving the velocity-like variables do not quickly relax away. Instead, after a very fast transient relaxation, they exhibit rather slow relaxations due to the coupling to the density-like variable.

We study a system with a weak, long-ranged repulsive Kac-type step-function interaction within the framework of a replicated effective phi(4) theory. The occurrence of extensive configurational entropy or an exponentially large number of metastable minima in the free energy (characteristic of a glassy state), is demonstrated. The underlying mechanism of mesoscopic patterning and defect organizations is discussed.
