Extended heat-fluctuation theorems for a system with deterministic and stochastic forces
Heat fluctuations over a time $\ensuremath{\tau}$ in a nonequilibrium stationary state and in a transient state are studied for a simple system with deterministic and stochastic components: a Brownian particle dragged through a fluid by a harmonic potential which is moved with constant velocity. Using a Langevin equation, we find …
