45. The validity of the factorization in (i) is guaranteed when the largest eigenvalue (Formula presented) of the stability matrix (see, e.g., 18 for simple liquids) at the critical temperature related to the nonlinear equation for the nonergodicity parameter is not degenerate. In the case that the vertices of the memory kernel that enters the MCT equations are positive, this is automatically fulfilled. Since the vertices occurring in MMCT are neither real nor positive this nondegeneracy does not hold necessarily. Nevertheless, we expect that (Formula presented) in the generic case is nondegenerate. An investigation of (Formula presented) for a system of diatomic molecules confirms this statement 28. The second scaling law is easily proved by showing that the Laplace transformed MMCT equations for (Formula presented) are invariant under the rescaling (Formula presented) for any real number y, provided the microscopic frequencies are neglected.

67. The minimum seen in all correlators around 0.5 ps is a finite-size effect connected to the low frequency cutoff of the density of states imposed by the boundary conditions and/or by the undamped propagation of the sound waves through the boundary conditions. Enhanced oscillations in the picosecond region have been observed in several molecular dynamics studies of supercooled liquids, especially close to the ideal-glass transitions, and finite-size-effect studies have shown that these oscillations are spurious. In network-forming liquids there is evi-dence that the finite-size effects may be superimposed on a much weaker oscillation associated with the time domain manifestation of the boson peak.
