Currents of particles or energy in driven nonequilibrium steady states are known to satisfy certain symmetries, referred to as fluctuation relations, determining the ratio of the probabilities of positive fluctuations to negative ones. A…

In systems far from equilibrium, the fluctuation-dissipation relation is violated due to the lack of detailed balance. Recently, for a class of Langevin equations, it has been proved that this violation is related to energy dissipation as…
For systems in equilibrium at a temperature $T$, thermal noise and energy damping are related to $T$ through the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT). We study here an extension of the FDT to an out of equilibrium steady state: a…
Multivariate fluctuation relations are established in three stochastic models of transistors, which are electronic devices with three ports and thus two coupled currents. In the first model, the transistor has no internal state variable and…
Two fundamental ingredients play a decisive role in the foundation of fluctuation relations: the principle of microreversibility and the fact that thermal equilibrium is described by the Gibbs canonical ensemble. Building on these two…
We put forward a relation between the static charge fluctuations and the conductance of correlated many-fermion systems at zero temperature, avoiding the use of time-dependent fluctuations as in the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Static…
