Abstract

The replica theory of the "Random First Order Transition" (RFOT) from a supercooled liquid to an "ideal" glass of a system of "soft spheres" is revisited. Following the seminal work of Mézard and Parisi [J. Chem. Phys. 111, 1076 (1999)], the number m of weakly interacting replicas of the system is varied continuously from m = 2 to m < 1. Relevant order parameters and the free energy of the liquid and glass phases are calculated using the hypernetted chain (HNC) approximation for the pair correlation functions. The scenario observed for all m confirms the existence of two glass branches G
