The Green-Kubo relations [1] [2] are expressions that relate macroscopic transport coefficients to integrals of microscopic time correlation functions. In general one has

where is the linear transport coefficient and is the flux.

Shear viscosity[edit]

The shear viscosity is related to the pressure tensor via

i.e. the integral of the autocorrelation of the off-diagonal components of the microscopic stress tensor.

Fluctuation theorem[edit]

The Green-Kubo relations can be derived from the Evans-Searles transient fluctuation theorem[3]
