We define an ultra-long time limit where ``one time quantities'' are close to equilibrium while response and correlation can still display aging. In this limit it is possible to relate the fluctuation-response relation to static breaking of ergodicity. The resulting picture suggests that even far from that limit, the fluctuation-dissipation ratio relates to the rate of growth of the configurational entropy with free-energy density.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-12-04T12:22:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "configuration space", "off-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relations", "ultra-long time limit", "fluctuation-dissipation ratio relates", "glassy state" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
