We extend mode-coupling theory (MCT) to inhomogeneous situations, relevant for supercooled liquid in an external field. We compute the response of the dynamical structure factor to a static inhomogeneous external potential and provide the first direct evidence that the standard formulation of MCT is associated with a diverging length scale. We find that the so-called cages are, in fact, extended objects. Although close to the transition the dynamic length grows as vertical bar T-T-c vertical bar(-1/4) in both the beta and alpha regimes, our results suggest that the fractal dimension of correlated clusters is larger in the alpha regime. We derive inhomogeneous MCT equations valid to second order in gradients.
