On the Time Average of the Autocorrelation Function in Hamiltonian Dynamics

arXiv:0811.4687

Abstract

Rigorous lower bound on the time-average of the autocorrelation function of an arbitrary L^1 observable is proven in terms of conserved quantities and ergodic decompositions of the Hamiltonian dynamics. Improvements with respect to the bounds given by Mazur and Suzuki are discussed.
