Contribution & Novelties
The talk extends macroscopic fluctuation theory to a lattice gas with both mass and dipole conservation, deriving explicit results for equilibrium fluctuations and large deviations of the integrated current. The key novelty is the interplay between the higher-order diffusion and the non-linear mobility, leading to non-trivial dynamical exponents and optimal paths. The analysis provides a clear example of how MFT can be applied to systems with additional conserved quantities.
Pour aller plus loin :
- Large deviations theory — Provides the mathematical framework for the exponential decay of probabilities used throughout the talk.
- Generalized hydrodynamics — Related to the wider context of many conserved quantities and their hydrodynamic consequences.
- Exclusion process — A related stochastic lattice gas model where similar MFT techniques have been applied.
