Large Deviations and a Fluctuation Symmetry for Chaotic Homeomorphisms

TLDR
In this article, the authors considered expansive homeomorphisms with the specification property and gave a new simple proof of a large deviation principle for Gibbs measures corresponding to a regular potential and established a general symmetry of the rate function for the large deviations of the antisymmetric part, under time-reversal, of the potential.
Abstract
We consider expansive homeomorphisms with the specification property We give a new simple proof of a large deviation principle for Gibbs measures corresponding to a regular potential and we establish a general symmetry of the rate function for the large deviations of the antisymmetric part, under time-reversal, of the potential This generalizes the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation theorem to a larger class of chaotic systems

The large deviation approach to statistical mechanics

TL;DR: The theory of large deviations as mentioned in this paper is concerned with the exponential decay of probabilities of large fluctuations in random systems, and it provides exponential-order estimates of probabilities that refine and generalize Einstein's theory of fluctuations.

On the origin and the use of fluctuation relations for the entropy

TL;DR: In this paper, a unifying framework for entropy symmetries under time-reversal has been proposed, and an algorithm to derive them is presented, which can be seen as a generalization of fluctuation-dissipation relations.

Frenesy: Time-symmetric dynamical activity in nonequilibria

TL;DR: The concept of dynamical ensembles in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics as specified from an action functional or Lagrangian on spacetime is reviewed in this article, where the breaking of time-reversal invariance is quantified via the entropy flux, and the consequences for fluctuation and response theory.

Fluctuation relation for a Lévy particle.

TL;DR: In the stationary regime, the probability density of the work is found to have "fat" power-law tails which assign a relatively high probability to large fluctuations compared with the case where the random forcing is Gaussian, leading to a strong violation of existing fluctuation theorems.

Entropy, large deviations, and statistical mechanics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the concept of large deviations for random variables with a finite state space, which is a generalization of the notion of large deviation for random vectors.

Probability of second law violations in shearing steady states.

TL;DR: An expression for the probability of fluctuations in the shear stress of a fluid in a nonequilibrium steady state far from equilibrium is given and a formula for the ratio that, for a finite time, theShear stress reverse sign is violating the second law of thermodynamics.

Dynamical ensembles in stationary states

TL;DR: In this paper, a chaotic hypothesis for reversible dissipative many-particle systems in nonequilibrium stationary states in general is proposed, which leads to the identification of a unique distribution μ describing the asymptotic properties of the system for initial data randomly chosen with respect to a uniform distribution on phase space.
