Fluctuation relations without microscopic time reversality: Generalized Green-Kubo relation and integral fluctuation theorem for uniformly sheared granular systems

Statistical Mechanics 2009-06-11 v1

Abstract

We derive the generalized Green-Kubo relation and an integral form of the fluctuation theorem that apply to uniformly sheared granular systems in which microscopic time-reversal symmetry is broken. The former relation provides an exact representation of nonequilibrium steady-state properties as the integral of the time-correlation function describing transient dynamics from an initial quiescent towards a final sheared steady state. We also investigate implications of the integral fluctuation theorem on the approach towards the steady state and on the possible form of the steady-state distribution function in terms of the excess thermodynamic function.
