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 …

Ergodicity and large deviations in physical systems with stochastic dynamics

RL Jack - The European Physical Journal B, 2020 - Springer
In ergodic physical systems, time-averaged quantities converge (for large times) to their
ensemble-averaged values. Large deviation theory describes rare events where these time …

Dissipation bounds all steady-state current fluctuations

TR Gingrich, JM Horowitz, N Perunov, JL England - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Near equilibrium, small current fluctuations are described by a Gaussian distribution with a
linear-response variance regulated by the dissipation. Here, we demonstrate that dissipation …

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 …

Dynamical large deviations of linear diffusions

J du Buisson, H Touchette - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Linear diffusions are used to model a large number of stochastic processes in physics,
including small mechanical and electrical systems perturbed by thermal noise, as well as …

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 …

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 …

Exact spectral gaps of the asymmetric exclusion process with open boundaries

J de Gier, FHL Essler - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We derive the Bethe ansatz equations describing the complete spectrum of the transition
matrix of the partially asymmetric exclusion process with the most general open boundary …

Large fluctuations and dynamic phase transition in a system of self-propelled particles

F Cagnetta, F Corberi, G Gonnella, A Suma - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We study the statistics, in stationary conditions, of the work W τ done by the active force in
different systems of self-propelled particles in a time τ. We show the existence of a critical …

Current fluctuations in one dimensional diffusive systems with a step initial density profile

B Derrida, A Gerschenfeld - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2009 - Springer
We show how to apply the macroscopic fluctuation theory (MFT) of Bertini, De Sole,
Gabrielli, Jona-Lasinio, and Landim to study the current fluctuations of diffusive systems with …
