Kubo: statistical-mechanical theory of irreversible processes, Part I

What changed

Developed a statistical-mechanical linear-response theory expressing transport and response coefficients through equilibrium time-correlation functions for magnetic and conduction problems.

Scientific scope

The record is the exact 1957 Part I paper in the Journal of the Physical Society of Japan. Part II, later Green–Kubo terminology, quantum extensions and applications remain separate.
