Abstract

We prove for a class of conservative interacting particle systems the validity of Onsager reciprocity relations for the transport coefficients if the microscopic dynamics is invariant under the combined action of time reversal and parity. The situation is reminiscent of TCP invariance in quantum field theory. Our systems include multicomponent zero-range and exchange dynamics.
