Abstract
We present a theory to study the inertial effect on glassy dynamics of the underdamped active Brownian particle (UABP) system. Using the assumption of the nonequilibrium steady-state, we obtain an effective Fokker-Planck equation for the probability distribution function (PDF) as a function of positions and momentums. With this equation, we achieve the evolution equation of the intermediate scattering function through the Zwanzig-Mori projection operator method and the mode-coupling theory (MCT). Theoretical analysis shows that the inertia of the particle affects the memory function and corresponding glass transition by influencing the structure factor and a velocity correlation function. The theory provides theoretical support and guidance for subsequent simulation work.
