Fourier Transform Relevance

• Many features of statistical-mechanical systems are described in k-space

  • structure
  • transport behavior
  • electrostatics

• This description focuses on the correlations shown over a particular length scale (depending on k)

• Macroscopic observables are recovered in the k ? 0 limit

• Corresponding treatment is applied in the time/frequency domains
