"We develop a theory that links stress interaction between earthquakes\r\nand the occurrence of temporal clustering. Coseismic static stress change in the vicinity (50 km) of large earthquakes suggests that perturbations of 0.1 to 1 bars may\r\naffect the occurrence of other earthquakes. At larger distances, interactions also seem\r\nto exist: four M 8 earthquakes have occurred in Mongolia on distant faults (400 km)\r\nduring the last century. Also, paleoseismic observations documenting much longer\r\ntime periods display a time clustering of major events. We demonstrate with simple\r\nmechanical concepts that postseismic stress relaxation magnifies the coseismic stress\r\nchange and has a major effect on fault interaction during the seismic cycle. In the\r\nsimple case where two distant faults are coupled, the probabilistic occurrence of\r\ntriggered earthquakes may increase dramatically due to long range postseismic\r\ncoupling."^^ .
