Linear response formula for open systems (1104.2114v1)
Published 12 Apr 2011 in cond-mat.stat-mech
Abstract: An exact expression for the finite frequency response of open classical systems coupled to reservoirs is obtained. The result is valid for any conserved current. No assumption is made about the reservoirs apart from thermodynamic equilibrium. At non-zero frequencies, the expression involves correlation functions of boundary currents and cannot be put in the standard Green-Kubo form involving currents inside the system.
