Nonequilibrium Fluctuation-Response Theory in the Frequency Domain

We develop a unified fluctuation-response theory in the frequency domain for nonequilibrium steady states governed by overdamped Langevin dynamics and Markov jump processes. The relation expresses the power spectrum of general observables exactly as a quadratic form of local responses measured at the same frequency, thereby extending static nonequilibrium fluctuation-response relations to finite frequencies. The decomposition is spatial for Langevin systems and edge-resolved for Markov jump processes, and applies uniformly to state-dependent observables, current-like observables, and their combinations. As consequences of the same identity, we derive frequency-domain response uncertainty relations, kinetic and thermodynamic uncertainty relations, the equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation theorem, and Harada-Sasa-type relations. Applications to stochastic networks and driven diffusive systems illustrate how the theory resolves fluctuation spectra into edge-wise contributions and reveals frequency-dependent tradeoffs between fluctuations, response, and dissipation.
