Kramers’ formula for chemical reactions in the context of Wasserstein gradient flows
We derive Kramers' formula as singular limit of the Fokker-Planck equation with double-well potential. The convergence proof is based on the Rayleigh principle of the underlying Wasserstein gradient structure and complements a recent result by Peletier, Savar\'e and Veneroni.
