| Abstract: | The theory of differential forms and time-dependent vector fields on manifolds is applied to formulate response theory for non-Hamiltonian systems. This approach is manifestly coordinate-free, and provides a transparent derivation of the response of a thermostatted system to a time-dependent perturbation. |
