title: Aging correlation functions of the interrupted fractional Fokker-Planck propagator.
abstract: The authors explore aging in a general semi-Markov process with arbitrary waiting time distributions and discuss the role of trapping phenomenon in glasses in determining the waiting time distributions. In certain limits, they obtain a two-time propagator for the fractional Fokker-Planck equation through coordination, but one can generalize the construction to incorporate cutoffs in the aging of the system, i.e., the interrupted aging. The construction allows the incorporation of cutoffs in the aging of the system, and the exploration of signatures of aging effects in systems that eventually achieve equilibrium. Cutoffs in aging effects are illustrated for interrupted fractional diffusion in a harmonic potential and for the on-time probability of a quantum dot system.
