Fluctuation Theorem for stochastic dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
The fluctuation theorem of Gallavotti and Cohen holds for finite systems undergoing Langevin dynamics. In such a context all non-trivial ergodic theory issues are by-passed, and the theorem takes a particularly simple form.

The Fluctuation Theorem for Stochastic Systems
The Fluctuation Theorem describes the probability ratio of observing trajectories that satisfy or violate the second law of thermodynamics. It has been proved in a number of different ways for thermostatted deterministic nonequilibrium systems. In the present paper we show that the Fluctuation Theorem is also valid for a class of stochastic nonequilibrium systems. The Theorem is therefore not r...
متن کاملThe Fluctuation Theorem as a Gibbs Property
Common ground to recent studies exploiting relations between dynamical systems and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics is, so we argue, the standard Gibbs formalism applied on the level of space-time histories. The assumptions (chaoticity principle) underlying the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation theorem make it possible, using symbolic dynamics, to employ the theory of one-dimensional lattice sp...
متن کاملOn the Gallavotti-Cohen symmetry and the fluctuation theorem for stochastic processes
We directly extend Kurchans’ work on the fluctuation theorem to general finite state space Markov jump processes and general Langevin dynamics. All systems are treated in a unified manner and we show that this directly reproduces (and corrects) the results of Lebowitz and Spohn in the Langevin case. For the jump process the quantity, for which the fluctuation theorem holds, is different from th...
متن کاملFluctuation theorem for entropy production of a partial system in the weak coupling limit
Small systems in contact with a heat bath evolve by stochastic dynamics. Here we show that, when one such small system is weakly coupled to another one, it is possible to infer the presence of such weak coupling by observing the violation of the steady state fluctuation theorem for the partial entropy production of the observed system. We give a general mechanism due to which the violation of t...
