Macroscopic stochastic thermodynamics

G Falasco, M Esposito - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2025 - APS
Starting at the mesoscopic level with a general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics in
terms of Markov jump processes, the scaling conditions that ensure the emergence of a …

Universal bounds on current fluctuations

P Pietzonka, AC Barato, U Seifert - Physical Review E, 2016 - APS
For current fluctuations in nonequilibrium steady states of Markovian processes, we derive
four different universal bounds valid beyond the Gaussian regime. Different variants of these …

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 …

The theory of spin noise spectroscopy: a review

NA Sinitsyn, YV Pershin - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Direct measurements of spin fluctuations are becoming the mainstream approach for studies
of complex condensed matter, molecular, nuclear, and atomic systems. This review covers …

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-
dimensional stochastic diffusive systems at late times, to the weak noise theory (WNT) …

A minimal model of dynamical phase transition

PT Nyawo, H Touchette - Europhysics Letters, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We calculate the large deviation functions characterizing the long-time fluctuations of the
occupation of drifted Brownian motion and show that these functions have non-analytic …

Dynamical symmetry breaking and phase transitions in driven diffusive systems

Y Baek, Y Kafri, V Lecomte - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We study the probability distribution of a current flowing through a diffusive system
connected to a pair of reservoirs at its two ends. Sufficient conditions for the occurrence of a …

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 …

Tricritical behavior in dynamical phase transitions

T Agranov, ME Cates, RL Jack - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We identify a new scenario for dynamical phase transitions associated with time-integrated
observables occurring in diffusive systems described by the macroscopic fluctuation theory …
