Abstract

For equilibrium systems with Ising symmetry, the three-point correlation function is always zero above criticality. When a lattice-gas version of this system is driven to a nonequilibrium steady state, this correlation becomes nontrivial. Its dominant large-scale behavior is found to be a consequence of both the manifest breaking of Ising symmetry by the driving force and the more subtle violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem.
