Macroscopic fluctuation theory

L Bertini, A De Sole, D Gabrielli, G Jona-Lasinio… - Reviews of Modern …, 2015 - APS
Stationary nonequilibrium states describe steady flows through macroscopic systems.
Although they represent the simplest generalization of equilibrium states, they exhibit a …

Frenesy: Time-symmetric dynamical activity in nonequilibria

C Maes - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We review the concept of dynamical ensembles in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics as
specified from an action functional or Lagrangian on spacetime. There, under local detailed …

Nonequilibrium Markov processes conditioned on large deviations

R Chetrite, H Touchette - Annales Henri Poincaré, 2015 - Springer
We consider the problem of conditioning a Markov process on a rare event and of
representing this conditioned process by a conditioning-free process, called the effective or …

Proof of the finite-time thermodynamic uncertainty relation for steady-state currents

JM Horowitz, TR Gingrich - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
The thermodynamic uncertainty relation offers a universal energetic constraint on the
relative magnitude of current fluctuations in nonequilibrium steady states. However, it has …

First-order dynamical phase transition in models of glasses: an approach based on ensembles of histories

JP Garrahan, RL Jack, V Lecomte… - Journal of Physics A …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the dynamics of kinetically constrained models of glass formers by analysing
the statistics of trajectories of the dynamics, or histories, using large deviation function …

Generic properties of stochastic entropy production

S Pigolotti, I Neri, É Roldán, F Jülicher - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We derive an Itô stochastic differential equation for entropy production in nonequilibrium
Langevin processes. Introducing a random-time transformation, entropy production obeys a …

Fluctuations and response of nonequilibrium states

M Baiesi, C Maes, B Wynants - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
A generalized fluctuation-response relation is found for thermal systems driven out of
equilibrium. Its derivation is independent of many details of the dynamics, which is only …

Learning force fields from stochastic trajectories

A Frishman, P Ronceray - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
When monitoring the dynamics of stochastic systems, such as interacting particles agitated
by thermal noise, disentangling deterministic forces from Brownian motion is challenging …

Fluctuation–response inequality out of equilibrium

A Dechant, S Sasa - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
We present an approach to response around arbitrary out-of-equilibrium states in the form of
a fluctuation–response inequality (FRI). We study the response of an observable to a …

Simple bounds on fluctuations and uncertainty relations for first-passage times of counting observables

JP Garrahan - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
Recent large deviation results have provided general lower bounds for the fluctuations of
time-integrated currents in the steady state of stochastic systems. A corollary are so-called …
