Genuine multipartite system-environment correlations in decoherent   dynamics
  We propose relative entropy-based quantifiers for genuine multipartite total, quantum, and classical correlations. These correlation measures are applied to investigate the generation of genuine multiparticle correlations in decoherent dynamics induced by the interaction of two qubits with local- independent environments. We consider amplitude- and phase-damping channels and compare their capabilities to spread information through the creation of many-body correlations. We identify changes in behavior for the genuine four- and three-partite total correlations and show that, contrary to amplitude environments, phase-noise channels transform the bipartite correlation initially shared between the qubits into genuine multiparticle system-environment correlations.
