Abstract

This paper is the second in a series devoted to the study of Langevin systems subjected to a continuous time-delayed feedback control. The goal of our previous paper [Phys. Rev. E 91, 042114 (2015)] was to derive second-law-like inequalities that provide bounds to the average extracted work. Here we study stochastic fluctuations of time-integrated observables such as the heat exchanged with the environment, the extracted work, or the (apparent) entropy production. We use a path-integral formalism and focus on the long-time behavior in the stationary cooling regime, stressing the role of rare events. This is illustrated by a detailed analytical and numerical study of a Langevin harmonic oscillator driven by a linear feedback.
