Abstract
The emergence of spatial correlations around a nonequilibrium steady state is studied by means of a stochastic description based on a multivariate master equation. The dependence of the strength and range of the correlations on the distance from equilibrium is determined. The formalism is applied to chemically reacting systems and to simple fluids submitted to a temperature gradient.Keywords
