Macroscopic fluctuation theory. Lecture 2

By Davide Gabrielli

Appears in collection : Nonequilibrium: physics, stochastics and dynamical systems / Non-équilibre : physique, stochastique et systèmes dynamiques

In this second lecture I will discuss the basic ideas of the macroscopic fluctuation theory as an effective theory in non equilibrium statistical mechanics. All the theory develops starting from a principal formula that describes the distribution at large deviations scale of the joint fluctuations of the density and the current for a diffusive system. The validity of such a formula can be proved for diffusive stochastic lattice gases. I will discuss an infinite dimensional Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the quasi-potential of stationary non equilibrium states, fluctuation-dissipation relationships, the underlying Hamiltonian structure, a relation with work and Clausius inequality, a large deviations functional for the current flowing through a system.
