The fluctuation-dissipation theorem and the linear Glauber model

Abstract

We obtain exact expressions for the two-time autocorrelation and response functions of the $d$-dimensional linear Glauber model. Although this linear model does not obey detailed balance in dimensions $d\ge 2$, we show that the usual form of the fluctuation-dissipation ratio still holds in the stationary regime. In the transient regime, we show the occurence of aging, with a special limit of the fluctuation-dissipation ratio, $X_{\infty }=1/2$, for a quench at the critical point.
