We prove that exponential moments of a fluctuation of the pure transport equation decay pointwisely almost as fast as $t^{-3}$ when the domain is any general strictly convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^3$ with the smooth boundary of the diffuse…

Near equilibrium, small current fluctuations are described by a Gaussian with a linear-response variance regulated by the dissipation. Here, we demonstrate that dissipation still plays a dominant role in structuring large fluctuations…

Current fluctuations in boundary-driven diffusive systems are, in many cases, studied using hydrodynamic theories. Their predictions are then expected to be valid for currents which scale inversely with the system size. To study this…
