We discuss the nonlinear rheology of dense colloidal dispersions at the glass transition. A first principles approach starting with interacting Brownian particles in given arbitrary homogeneous (incompressible) flow neglecting hydrodynamic interactions is sketched. It e.g. explains steady state flow curves for finite shear rates measured in dense suspensions of thermosensitive core-shell particles consisting of a polystyrene core and a crosslinked poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) shell. The exponents of simple and generalized Herschel Bulkley laws are computed for hard spheres.
