  "abstract": "We exactly calculate two-point spatial correlation functions in steady state in a broad class of conserved-mass transport processes, which are governed by chipping, diffusion and coalescence of masses. We find that the spatial correlations are in general short-ranged and consequently, on a large scale, these conserved-mass transport processes possess a remarkable thermodynamic structure in the steady state. That is, the processes have an equilibriumlike additivity property, and a corresponding fluctuation-response relation, which helps us to obtain subsystem mass distributions in the limit of subsystem size large.",
