Authors:W.G\"otze (Physik-Department, Technische Universit\"at M\"unchen, D-85747 Garching, Germany)

The essential results of the mode-coupling theory for the evolution of structural relaxation in simple liquids such as the Debye-Waller-factor anomaly, the critical decay, von Schweidler's law, the $\boldsymbol{\alpha}$- and $\boldsymbol{\beta}$-relaxation scaling, the appearance of two divergent time scales, and Kohlrausch's law for the $\boldsymbol{\alpha}$-process are explained, and their relevance to the understanding of experiments in glass-forming systems is described.

Key words: mode-coupling theory, structural relaxation, glassy dynamics, bifurcation dynamics
