Universality of entropy production in driven diffusions — •Simone Pigolotti, Izaak Neri, Édgar Roldán, and Frank Jülicher — Max-Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany
We study non-equilibrium properties of driven colloidal systems, ranging from simple one-dimensional periodic potentials to two-dimensional incompressible flows. We will show that some statistical properties of the entropy production, such as the distribution of local infima, are universal at steady state. We develop a general theory to account for these findings. We conclude with an example of a system maintained out of steady-state by a time-dependent driving which, surprisingly, shares the same universal properties.
