Nonequilibrium Ornstein-Zernike relation for Brownian many-body dynamics.

We derive a dynamic Ornstein-Zernike equation for classical fluids undergoing overdamped Brownian motion and driven out of equilibrium. Inhomogeneous two-time correlation functions are obtained from functional differentiation of the one-body density and current with respect to an appropriately chosen external field. Functional calculus leads naturally to non-Markovian equations of motion for the two-time correlators. Memory functions are identified as functional derivatives of a space- and time-nonlocal power dissipation functional. We propose an excess (over ideal gas) dissipation functional that both generates mode-coupling theory for the two-body correlations and extends dynamical density functional theory for the one-body fields, thus unifying the two approaches.
