Title: ON THE IRREVERSIBILITY OF FLUCTUATIONS
Author(s): A.G.Sitenko (Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics, 03143 Kyiv, Ukraine)

Interrelationship of classical and quantum fluctuations is discussed. With energy dissipation being taken into account, fluctuations are shown to be irreversible even in the case of classical systems. An analogy to Kubo relation for classical fluctuations is derived. Fluctuations in both equilibrium and nonequilibrium (though stationary) states of the system are considered.
