Glass formation is both an old and difficult problem. Various theories have been developed in order to describe glass transition, however even a mean-field picture is not well-established. In this study, we formulate mode coupling theory for high dimensional system, numerically solve the MCT equation and investigate dimensionality dependence of glassy dynamics. The results are compared with replica theory's prediction in details.
