The result applies to a much wider situation than `near equilibrium', comprising diffusion as well as glasses and other macroscopic systems far from equilibrium. For aging systems this bounds the age-frequency regimes in which the susceptibilities satisfy FDT in terms of the rate of decay of the H-function, a question intimately related to the reading of a thermometer placed in contact with the system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1997-07-22T12:31:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "entropy production", "fluctuation-dissipation theorems", "relaxational systems", "equilibrium", "susceptibilities satisfy fdt" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
