Elementary constraints on autocorrelation function scalings.
Elementary algebraic constraints on the form of an autocorrelation function C(t(w)+tau,t(w)) rule out some two-time scalings found in the literature as possible long-time asymptotic forms. The same argument leads to the realization that two usual definitions of many-time scale relaxation for aging systems are not equivalent.
