Damping on an object generally depends on its conformation (shape size etc.). We consider the Langevin dynamics of a model system with a conformation dependent damping and generalize the fluctuation dissipation relation to fit in such a…

A fundamental principle of chaotic quantum dynamics is that local subsystems eventually approach a thermal equilibrium state. Large subsystems thermalize slower: their approach to equilibrium is limited by the hydrodynamic build-up of…

The celebrated {\it fluctuation dissipation theorem} (FDT) does not apply to nonequilibrium systems. In this context, Cugliandolo and Kurchan [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 71}, 173 (1993)] introduced a generalized FDT which interprets the…
