As a step towards such a comprehension, we propose the study of the dynamical equilibrium fluctuations in a model system with long range interaction. We compute analytically, from the microscopic dynamics, the autocorrelation function of the order parameter. From this result, we derive analytically a Fokker Planck equation which describes the stochastic process of the impulsion of a single particle in an equilibrium bath. The diffusion coefficient is explicitly computed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-05-08T13:34:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "long range interaction", "stochastic process", "fokker planck equation", "microscopic dynamics", "order parameter" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
