The force autocorrelation function (FACF), a concept of fundamental interest in statistical mechanics, encodes the effect of interactions on the dynamics of a tagged particle. In equilibrium, the FACF is believed to decay monotonically in time which is a signature of slowing down of the dynamics of the tagged particle due to interactions. Here we analytically show that in odd-diffusive systems, which are characterized by a diffusion tensor with antisymmetric elements, the FACF can become negative and even exhibit temporal oscillations. We also demonstrate that, despite the isotropy, the knowledge of FACF alone is not sufficient to describe the dynamics: the full autocorrelation tensor is required and contains an antisymmetric part. These unusual properties translate into enhanced dynamics of the tagged particle quantified via the self-diffusion coefficient that, remarkably, increases due to particle interactions.
