Linear response theory and transient fluctuation theorems for diffusion processes: a backward point of view

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

On the basis of perturbed Kolmogorov backward equations and path integral representation, we unify the derivations of the linear response theory and transient fluctuation theorems for continuous diffusion processes from a backward point of view. We find that a variety of transient fluctuation theorems could be interpreted as a consequence of a generalized Chapman-Kolmogorov equation, which intrinsically arises from the Markovian characteristic of diffusion processes.
