Abstract:
The recently formulated macroscopic
fluctuation theory is a successful
description of out of equilibrium diffusive
systems. I will focus on current fluctuations
of boundary driven systems within the
macroscopic theory description, and
discuss the relevance of the additivity
principle to derive the large deviation
function associated with the current
fluctuations. Three results will be shown
1)Current fluctuations in boundary driven
systems are universal
2)A criterion for the validity of the
additivity principle and application to
dynamical phase transitions.
3)Relevance of the macroscopic
fluctuation theory to transport of
disordered quantum systems.
