Generalized Elastic Model: Fractional Langevin Description, Fluctuation Relation, and Linear Response

Statistical Mechanics 2013-05-14 v2

Abstract

The Generalized Elastic Model is a linear stochastic model which accounts for the behaviour of many physical systems in nature, ranging from polymeric chains to single-file systems. If an external perturbation is exerted \emph{only} on a single point x\vec{x}^\star (\emph{tagged probe}), it propagates throughout the entire system. Within the fractional Langevin equation framework, we study the effect of such a perturbation, in cases of a constant force applied. We report most of the results arising from our previous analysis and, in the present work, we show that the Fox HH-functions formalism provides a compact, elegant and useful tool for the study of the scaling properties of any observable. In particular we show how the generalized Kubo fluctuation relations can be expressed in terms of HH-functions.
