Fluctuation-dissipation supersymmetry
2020
Open systems may be perturbed out of equilibrium states either by subjecting them to nonconservative forces or by injecting external currents. For small perturbations, the linear response is quantified by two different matrices. In the framework of network thermodynamics, under very broad assumptions, we show that the two matrices are connected by a supersymmetry, predicting that they have the same spectrum - up to the degeneracy of the ground state. Our approach brings into the mathematics of supersymmetry a new ingredient, namely oblique projection operators.
