Non-equilibrium stationary fluctuations may exhibit a special symmetry called fluctuation relations (FR). Here, we show that this property is always satisfied by the subtraction of two random and independent variables related by a…
Macroscopic fluctuations have become an essential tool to understand physics far from equilibrium due to the link between their statistics and nonequilibrium ensembles. The optimal path leading to a fluctuation encodes key information on…
