Abstract

Our knowledge about the microscopic structure of macroscopic systems in thermal equilibrium is encoded as equilibrium time correlations. These objects are measured in scattering experiments: a purely angular resolution of the scattered beam translates into static correlations and its frequency (energy) resolution into time correlations. Despite their central physical importance our mathematical understanding of equilibrium time correlations is very modest, quite in contrast to their static counterpart on which we have a wealth of qualitative information.
