Original abstract
We compute the charm-quark current-current correlation function within the Langevin framework and extract the heavy-quark diffusion coefficient using the Green--Kubo formula. The formalism is further extended to evaluate the correlation function using a generalized Langevin equation that incorporates memory effects via an exponentially decaying memory kernel. We find that while memory effects qualitatively modify the transient structure of the current correlations, the value of the transport coefficient remains unchanged in the non-relativistic limit. In addition, we investigate heavy-quark thermalization in the presence of memory and compare the non-equilibrium solution of a generalized Fokker--Planck equation with the one obtained from the generalized Langevin equation in the non-relativistic limit. We also consider the relativistic version of the correlated noise case and observe that memory effects can give rise to a damped, oscillatory equilibration of the heavy quark in a non-Markovian bath.
