We study the motion of a Brownian particle subjected to Lorentz force due to an external magnetic field. Each spatial degree of freedom of the particle is coupled to a different thermostat. We show that the magnetic field results in…

Ginzburg-Landau energy models arise as autonomous sto-chastic dynamics for the energies in coupled systems after a weak coupling limit (cf. [3, 6]). We prove here that, under certain conditions, the energy fluctuations of these stochastic…
