Exact Solutions in Non-equilibrium Statistical Physics
The statistical mechanics of a system at thermal equilibrium is encoded in the Boltzmann-Gibbs canonical law: Peq(C) = e−E(C)/kT Z the Partition Function Z being related to the Thermodynamic Free Energy F: F = −kTLog Z This provides us with a well-defined prescription to analyze systems at equilibrium: (i) Observables are mean values w.r.t. the canonical measure. (ii) Statistical Mechanics predicts fluctuations (typically Gaussian) that are out of reach of Classical Thermodynamics.

Let ǫ1, . . . , ǫN be N independent binary variables, ǫk = ±1, with probability p (resp. q = 1 − p). Their sum is denoted by SN = N

√ N converges towards a Gaussian Law. One can show that for −1 < r < 1, in the large N limit, Pr SN N = r
where the positive function Φ(r) vanishes for r = (p − q). The function Φ(r) is a Large Deviation Function: it encodes the probability of rare events. Φ(r) = 1 + r 2 ln 1 + r 2p

free energy per unit volume in units of kT: the Thermodynamic Free Energy can be viewed as a Large Deviation Function. Conversely, large deviation functions may play the role of potentials in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Large deviation functions obey a symmetry that remains valid far from equilibrium: Φ(r) − Φ(−r) = Ar The coefficient A is a constant, e.g. A = ln q/p in the example above. This Fluctuation Theorem of Gallavotti and Cohen is deep and general: it reflects covariance properties under time-reversal. In the vicinity of equilibrium the Fluctuation Theorem yields the fluctuation-dissipation relation (Einstein), Onsager’s relations and linear response theory (Kubo).

Starting from the microscopic level, define local density ρ(x, t) and current j(x, t) with macroscopic space-time variables x = i/L, t = s/L2 (diffusive scaling). The typical evolution of the system is given by the hydrodynamic behaviour: ∂tρ = 1 2∇2ρ − ν∇σ(ρ) with σ(ρ) = ρ(1 − ρ) (Lebowitz, Spohn, Varadhan)

What is the probability to observe an atypical current j(x, t) and the corresponding density profile ρ(x, t) during 0 ≤ s ≤ L2 T? Pr{j(x, t), ρ(x, t)} ∼ e−L I(j,ρ) where the Large-Deviation functional is given by macroscopic fluctuation theory (Jona-Lasinio et al.) I(j, ρ) = T dt 1 dx
2∇ρ
2 σ(ρ) with the constraint: ∂tρ = −∇.j This leads to a variational procedure to control a deviation of the density and of the associated current: an optimal path problem. This is a global framework. Unfortunately, the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations can not be solved analytically in general. Our aim is to derive the statistical properties of the current and its large deviations starting from the microscopic model.

The observable Yt counts the total number of particles exchanged between the system and the left reservoir between times 0 and t. Hence, Yt+dt = Yt + y with y = +1 if a particle enters at site 1 (at rate α), y = −1 if a particle exits from 1 (at rate γ) y = 0 if no particle exchange with the left reservoir has occurred during dt.

Exact Solutions in Non-equilibrium Statistical Physics
Systems out of equilibrium are ubiquitous in nature. They break time-reversal invariance. Often, they are characterized by non-vanishing stationary currents. Large deviation functions (LDF) appear as the right generalization of the thermodynamic potentials: convex, optimized at the stationary state, and non-analytic features can be interpreted as phase transitions. The LDF’s are very likely to play a key-role in constructing a non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Finding Large Deviation Functions is a very important current issue. This can be achieved through experimental, mathematical or computational techniques. The results given here are one of very few exact analytically exact formulae known for Large Deviation Functions. These results were obtained in collaboration with A. Lazarescu and
