Macroscopic current fluctuations in stochastic lattice gases

preprint2004arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study current fluctuations in lattice gases in the macroscopic limit extending the dynamic approach to density fluctuations developed in previous articles. More precisely, we derive large deviation estimates for the space--time fluctuations of the empirical current which include the previous results. Large time asymptotic estimates for the fluctuations of the time average of the current, recently established by Bodineau and Derrida, can be derived in a more general setting. There are models where we have to modify their estimates and some explicit examples are introduced.
