We show that a non-equilibrium diffusive dynamics in a finite-dimensional space takes in the Lagrangian frame of its mean local velocity an equilibrium form with the detailed balance property. This explains the equilibrium nature of the…
We discuss fluctuation-dissipation relations valid under general conditions even out of equilibrium. The response function is expressed in terms of unperperturbed correlation functions, where contributions peculiar to non-equilibrium can…
