Large Deviations of the Density and Current in Non-equilibrium Systems - Lecture 1

INI Seminar Room 2 via YouTube

Overview

Explore an advanced physics lecture delivered by Professor Bernard Derrida from the Collège de France, focusing on the macroscopic fluctuation theory and its applications in out-of-equilibrium diffusive systems. Dive into the first of three lectures examining large-scale properties of non-equilibrium systems, with detailed explanations of models for computing large deviation functions of density and current. Learn from key references in statistical physics, including works by Bertini et al. and Derrida's own contributions to the field. Gain insights into the mathematical framework used to describe stationary non-equilibrium states and their fluctuations, supported by comprehensive theoretical foundations and practical applications in living matter systems under adaptive control.
