On the spectral relations for multitime correlation functions

Abstract

A general approach for derivation of the spectral relations for the multitime correlation functions is presented. A special attention is paid to the consideration of the non-ergodic (conserving) contributions and it is shown that such contributions can be treated in a rigorous way using multitime temperature Green functions. Representation of the multitime Green functions in terms of the spectral densities and solution of the reverse problem -- finding of the spectral densities from the known Green functions are given for the case of the three-time correlation functions.
