Abstract
The susceptibility of two coupled dipoles undergoing a one-dimensional brownian motion including inertial effects can be expressed in linear response by the correlation function of the resulting dipole moment. It is shown that this correlation function factorizes into two correlation functions, one for the sum and the other for the difference angle of the dipoles. Therefore the problem can be reduced to solving the sum and the difference angle problems separately.Keywords
