Calculation of the coherent memory functions from the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the corresponding stationary Schrödinger equation

Lubomír Skála

Abstract Using some properties of the Bessel functions the algebraic representation of the Nakajima–Zwanzig generalized master equation was derived. This representation makes possible the calculation of the memory functions in terms of the probabilities. Using this approach, the formulas for the memory functions giving their dependence on the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the corresponding stationary Schrödinger equation are given and discussed in detail.

Disappearance of time integrals of exact memory functions in time-convolution generalized master equations

Vladislav Čápek

Memory functions in time-convolution Generalized Master Equations (GME) for probabilities of finding a general system (interacting by a general coupling with a true thermodynamic bath) in individual states are considered without resorting to any approximation. After taking the thermodynamic bath limit, time integrals from zero to infinite times of the memories are considered. It is argued that these integrals entering, e.g., the usual naive Markov approximation converting GME the Pauli master (PME) equations are exactly zero. This implies long-time tails of memories (unobtainable by perturbational expansions) and slower-than-exponential long-time asymptotics of relaxation.
