Theory of diffusive fluctuations

Abstract

The recently developed effective field theory of fluctuations around thermal equilibrium is used to compute late-time correlation functions of conserved densities. Specializing to systems with a single conservation law, we find that the diffusive pole is shifted in the presence of non-linear hydrodynamic self-interactions, and that the density-density Green's function acquires a branch point half way to the diffusive pole, at frequency $\omega =-\frac{i}{2}D{k}^2$. We discuss the relevance of diffusive fluctuations for strongly correlated transport in condensed matter and cold atomic systems.
