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 …

Nonequilibrium steady states of matrix-product form: a solver's guide

RA Blythe, MR Evans - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the general problem of determining the steady state of stochastic
nonequilibrium systems such as those that have been used to model (among other things) …

Non-equilibrium steady states: fluctuations and large deviations of the density and of the current

B Derrida - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
These lecture notes give a short review of methods such as the matrix ansatz, the additivity
principle or the macroscopic fluctuation theory, developed recently in the theory of non …

Inverse scattering method solves the problem of full statistics of nonstationary heat transfer in the Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti model

E Bettelheim, NR Smith, B Meerson - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We determine the full statistics of nonstationary heat transfer in the Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti
lattice gas model at long times by uncovering and exploiting complete integrability of the …

Distribution of current in nonequilibrium diffusive systems and phase transitions

T Bodineau, B Derrida - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2005 - APS
We consider diffusive lattice gases on a ring and analyze the stability of their density profiles
conditionally to a current deviation. Depending on the current, one observes a phase …

Exact spatial correlations in single-file diffusion

A Grabsch, P Rizkallah, A Poncet, P Illien, O Bénichou - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Single-file diffusion refers to the motion of diffusive particles in narrow channels, so that they
cannot bypass each other. This constraint leads to the subdiffusion of a tagged particle …

Non equilibrium current fluctuations in stochastic lattice gases

L Bertini, AD Sole, D Gabrielli, G Jona-Lasinio… - Journal of statistical …, 2006 - Springer
We study current fluctuations in lattice gases in the macroscopic limit extending the dynamic
approach for density fluctuations developed in previous articles. More precisely, we …

Crossover from the macroscopic fluctuation theory to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation controls the large deviations beyond Einstein's diffusion

A Krajenbrink, P Le Doussal - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We study the crossover from the macroscopic fluctuation theory (MFT), which describes one-

Spontaneous symmetry breaking at the fluctuating level

PI Hurtado, PL Garrido - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
Phase transitions not allowed in equilibrium steady states may happen, however, at the
fluctuating level. We observe for the first time this striking and general phenomenon …

Universal cumulants of the current in diffusive systems on a ring

C Appert-Rolland, B Derrida, V Lecomte… - Physical Review E …, 2008 - APS
We calculate exactly the first cumulants of the integrated current and of the activity (which is
the total number of changes of configurations) of the symmetric simple exclusion process on …
