Autocorrelation functions (ACF) can be shown to decay monotonically in equilibrium systems. Despite being in equilibrium, this strict monotonicity condition of ACFs is broken in so-called odd-diffusive systems, which are characterized by probability fluxes perpendicular to density gradients. In fact, the velocity-ACF of a tracer-colloid can even be shown to be oscillatory. In normal systems, the monotonic decay of the velocity-ACF translates into an interaction-induced reduction of the diffusion coefficient of the colloid (Green-Kubo relation). We show that in odd systems, the non-monotonicity of the ACF instead results in an enhancement of the tracer diffusion with interparticle interactions.
