Abstract: We derive some properties of the triplet distribution function of a simple fluid in thermal equilibrium. We use the exact second equation of the Yvon-Born-Green hierarchy to express a wavenumber-dependent integral of the triplet distribution function in terms of the pair-correlation function. We study the integral in some detail for a system of hard spheres. We show that there is a simple relation to the effective diffusion coefficient of a suspension of interacting Brownian particles.
