Abstract
A coupled-mode theory for the spin response function is used to calculate time-dependent properties of the classical spin chain at infinite temperature. The behaviour of the spin autocorrelation function is consistent with computer simulation data, in that the exponent of the time tail decreases on moving from intermediate to asymptotic time regions. Results for the spin response function and memory function in the two time regions are obtained by a combination of asymptotic analysis and numerical studies. For a large wavevector, near the zone boundary, the spin response function displays a very pronounced oscillatory time dependence. However, there is next to no structure in the corresponding spectral function, in accord with simulation data. The asymptotic analysis shows that, in the infinite-temperature limit, coupled-mode theory does not comply with usual hydrodynamic assumptions, a view that has also emerged from analysis of some of the computer simulation data.
