講演題目：
森理論再訪：‘力学的’なランダム力とセルフコンシステントな構造

講演要旨：

Projection operator method, due to Zwanzig and Mori, has been playing
important roles in equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics.
Especially the generalized Langevin equation (GLE,Mori, 1965), not only
gave microscopic justification of stochastic approaches to dynamics 
in many-body systems but also presented systemtic methodologies to 
formulate irreversible processes and transport coefficients. 
In my talk, I first review 'stochastic' Brownian motion,  with introduction of 
Langevin eq., fluctuation -dissipation theorem. Then I turn to GLE, which 
is derived anew based on 'natural' trajectories of Hamiltonian dynamics 
in a phase space. Next I point out some new structural aspects of GLE, 
such as linear functional relation and a self-consistent structure(SCS).  
I conclude my talk with some examples, in which I could calculate
the 'mechanical' random force and its correlation function(kernel). 
It is noted that such calculations are made possible only through the SCS.
