Fluctuation-Dissipation: Response Theory in Statistical Physicsby U.M.B. Marconi, A. Puglisi, L. Rondoni, A. Vulpiani - arXiv
General aspects of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Relation (FDR), and Response Theory are considered. We illustrate the relation between the relaxation of spontaneous fluctuations, and the response to an external perturbation.
