Abstract

We introduce a fundamental theory for the kinetics of systems of classical particles. The theory represents a unification of kinetic theory, Brownian motion and field theory. It is self-consistent and is the dynamic generalization of the functional theory of static equilibrium fluids. This gives one a powerful tool for investigating the existence of ergodic-nonergodic transitions near the liquid-glass transition.
