TL;DR
This paper investigates the correlation properties of earthquake aftershocks, revealing aging phenomena within the Omori regime and suggesting that fault interactions may follow glassy dynamics, with implications for understanding seismic activity.
Contribution
It demonstrates the presence of aging in earthquake correlations within the Omori regime and discusses the scaling behavior, proposing a link to glassy dynamics in fault interactions.
Findings
Aging observed inside the Omori regime
No aging outside the Omori regime
Scaling behavior of aging function
Abstract
A part of the seismic time series, in which the Omori law for temporal pattern of aftershocks holds, is refereed to as the Omori regime. Here the properties of correlation between earthquake events both inside and outside of the Omori regime are studied by analysis of the data taken in southern California. It is found that inside of the Omori regime correlation exhibits the aging phenomenon, in marked contrast to the fact that no aging is observed outside of the Omori regime. The scaling nature of aging is also discussed and the form of the function responsible for it is presented. The results indicate that complex fault-fault interactions may be governed by glassy dynamics.
