The dynamics of Brownian particles of a hard-sphere fluid can be described by generalized Langevin equations. Starting with the microscopic motion of the colloids we use the Zwanzig-Mori projection operator formalism to derive equations of motion for correlation functions. To close the equations, suitable mode-coupling approximations (slowing down of the dynamics due to the caging by neighboring particles) are used. Introducing a logarithmically spaced wavevector grid we investigate the long-wavelength behavior of the system. The velocity autocorrelation function of a tagged particle decays algebraically as ∝ t−5/2 rather than exponentially due to repeated interactions. Comparing the collective dynamics with the self-dynamics for different packing fractions near the glass transition we find that contrary to the self-dynamics the collective dynamics do not slow down.
