The pair correlation function is an important input to describe equilibrium phase transitions and the glass transitions [1]. An Ornstein-Zernike relation can be used to represent the pair correlation function in a form that is easy to approximate and that allows an intuitive representation in terms of graphs [2]. However, this graphical representation is limited to pairwise interactions between particles and recent analyses show that some systems, such as foams, cannot be adequately represented with pair interactions [3]. To be able to specify a meaningful Ornstein-Zernike relation for such systems, we have started from scratch and have introduced hypergraphs for multi-body interactions. With these we are able to represent the Ornstein-Zernike relation for multi-body interactions and to give a graphical meaning to the individual terms. We will discuss the similarities and differences between the relation for pair- and for multi-body interactions.
