Fluctuation relations for systems in constant magnetic field

The validity of the Fluctuation Relations (FR) for systems in a constant magnetic field is investigated. Recently introduced time-reversal symmetries that hold in presence of static electric and magnetic fields and of deterministic thermostats are used to prove the transient FR without invoking, as commonly done, inversion of the magnetic field. Steady-state FR are also derived, under the t-mixing condition. These results extend the predictive power of important statistical mechanics relations. We illustrate this via the non-linear response for the cumulants of the dissipation, showing how the new FR enable to determine analytically null cumulants also for systems in a single magnetic field.
