We compute the two-time correlation function for the displacement of the tagged particle for an arbitrary single-file system. We also discuss single-file analogs of the arcsine law and the law of the iterated logarithm characterizing the behavior of Brownian motion. Using a macroscopic fluctuation theory we devise a formalism giving the cumulant generating functional. In principle, this functional contains the full statistics of the tagged particle trajectory---the full single-time statistics, all multiple-time correlation functions, etc. are merely special cases.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-05-06T08:55:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "single-file diffusion", "dynamical properties", "particle trajectory-the full single-time statistics", "tagged particle trajectory-the full single-time", "multiple-time correlation functions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150501287K" } } }
