Driven Lattice Gases: Typical Fluctuations and Large Deviations
نویسنده
چکیده
Driven lattice gases are studied with the goal to understand whether at all and if so how far the very general principles of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) extend to non-LTE systems characterized by broken detailed balance.

Current Large Deviations in a Driven Dissipative Model
We consider lattice gas diffusive dynamics with creation-annihilation in the bulk and maintained out of equilibrium by two reservoirs at the boundaries. This stochastic particle system can be viewed as a toy model for granular gases where the energy is injected at the boundary and dissipated in the bulk. The large deviation functional for the particle currents flowing through the system is comp...
متن کاملApproximate thermodynamic structure for driven lattice gases in contact.
For a class of nonequilibrium systems, called driven lattice gases, we study what happens when two systems are kept in contact and allowed to exchange particles with the total number of particles conserved. For both attractive and repulsive nearest-neighbor interactions among particles and for a wide range of parameter values, we find that, to a good approximation, one could define an intensive...
متن کاملLarge deviations in weakly interacting boundary driven lattice gases
One-dimensional, boundary-driven lattice gases with local interactions are studied in the weakly interacting limit. The density profiles and the correlation functions are calculated to first order in the interaction strength for zero-range and short-range processes differing only in the specifics of the detailed-balance dynamics. Furthermore, the effective free-energy (large-deviation function)...
متن کاملLarge Deviations of the Empirical Current in Interacting Particle Systems
We study current fluctuations in lattice gases in the hydrodynamic scaling limit. More precisely, we prove a large deviation principle for the empirical current in the symmetric simple exclusion process with rate functional I. We then estimate the asymptotic probability of a fluctuation of the average current over a large time interval and show that the corresponding rate function can be obtain...
متن کاملNonequilibrium steady states in contact: approximate thermodynamic structure and zeroth law for driven lattice gases.
We explore driven lattice gases for the existence of an intensive thermodynamic variable which could determine "equilibration" between two nonequilibrium steady-state systems kept in weak contact. In simulations, we find that these systems satisfy surprisingly simple thermodynamic laws, such as the zeroth law and the fluctuation-response relation between the particle-number fluctuation and the ...
