We calculate the nonequilibrium mean-field 'temperature' of a Brownian system in contact with a heat bath. We consider two different cases: an equilibrium bath in the presence of strong external forces and a nonequilibrium bath. By proving…
Non-equilibrium systems are known to exhibit long-ranged correlations due to conservation of quantities like density or momentum. This, in turn, leads to long-ranged fluctuation-induced (Casimir) forces, predicted to arise in a variety of…
