Hierarchical structure of fluctuation theorems for a driven system in contact with multiple heat reservoirs
Hierarchical structure of fluctuation theorems for a driven system in contact with multiple heat reservoirs
For driven open systems in contact with multiple heat reservoirs, we find the marginal distributions of work or heat do not satisfy any fluctuation theorem, but only the joint distribution of work and heat satisfies a family of fluctuation theorems. A hierarchical structure of these fluctuation theorems is discovered from …
