Sum rule constraints on Kubo-transformed correlation functions
We show how the Kubo transform can be inverted in the time domain and then use this result to investigate the sum rule constraints on a Kubo-transformed correlation function c̃AB(t)=1β∫0βdλ〈A(- iλℏ)B(t)〉 that arise from the values of the static equilibrium properties cAB(n)(0)=[dn〈A(0)B(t)〉/dtn]t=0....

| Summary: | We show how the Kubo transform can be inverted in the time domain and then use this result to investigate the sum rule constraints on a Kubo-transformed correlation function c̃AB(t)=1β∫0βdλ〈A(- iλℏ)B(t)〉 that arise from the values of the static equilibrium properties cAB(n)(0)=[dn〈A(0)B(t)〉/dtn]t=0. We find, perhaps not surprisingly, that these sum rules only depend on the behavior of c̃AB(t) for times on the order of βℏ. The implications of this finding are discussed in light of the recent use of these sum rules to assess the quality of approximate Kubo-transformed correlation functions for liquid hydrogen at 14 K and liquid water at 298 K. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
