Abstract
It is demonstrated that the commonly accepted mathematical derivation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem for electromagnetic fields in spatial domains involves restrictive conditions that essentially limit the applicability of the Theorem to the analysis of large-scale radiative heat transfer, and therefore, it may not be applicable to problems of radiative heat transfer over nano- and low-micro-scale distances.
