Abstract

Modifying slightly Kubo's formulation of perturbation theory to take care of the fact that generalized susceptibility may not be zero at infinite frequency, we establish, in the classical limit, a general relation between covariance and generalized susceptibility. The relation is then applied to evaluate the covariances of the magnetic flux, currents, and magnetization of a superconducting cylinder. Expressions for the spectra of magnetic flux and magnetization are also obtained.
