We compute probability distributions of trajectory observables for reversible and irreversible growth processes. These results reveal a correspondence between reversible and irreversible processes, at particular points in parameter space, in terms of their typical and atypical trajectories. Thus key features of growth processes can be insensitive to the precise form of the rate constants used to generate them, recalling the insensitivity to microscopic details of certain equilibrium behavior…

Importance sampling large deviations in nonequilibrium steady states. I.
TLDR
This paper evaluates different trajectory-based sampling methods capable of computing large deviation functions of time integrated observables within nonequilibrium steady states and shows how two popular methods for sampling trajectory ensembles, transition path sampling and diffusion Monte Carlo, suffer from exponentially diverging correlations in trajectory space.
Direct evaluation of dynamical large-deviation rate functions using a variational ansatz.
TLDR
This work describes a simple form of importance sampling designed to bound and compute large-deviation rate functions for time-extensive dynamical observables in continuous-time Markov chains and offers a physically transparent framework for approximating and calculating the likelihood of dynamical large deviations.
Generating stochastic trajectories with global dynamical constraints
We propose a method to exactly generate Brownian paths x c (t) that are constrained to return to the origin at some future time t f , with a given fixed area Af=∫0tfdtxc(t) under their trajectory. We…
Large deviations in the presence of cooperativity and slow dynamics.
TLDR
Simple models of intermittency, involving switching between two states, within the dynamical large-deviation formalism, are studied and it is suggested that singularities of the dynamicals large- Deviation formalist can signal the dynamICAL equivalent of an equilibrium phase transition but do not necessarily do so.
Exact Fluctuations of Nonequilibrium Steady States from Approximate Auxiliary Dynamics.
We describe a framework to reduce the computational effort to evaluate large deviation functions of time integrated observables within nonequilibrium steady states. We do this by incorporating an…
Trajectory phase transitions in noninteracting spin systems.
We show that a collection of independent Ising spins evolving stochastically can display surprisingly large fluctuations toward ordered behavior, as quantified by certain types of time-integrated…
Reaction-path statistical mechanics of enzymatic kinetics.
We introduce a reaction-path statistical mechanics formalism based on the principle of large deviations to quantify the kinetics of single-molecule enzymatic reaction processes under the…
Dynamical criticality in open systems: Nonperturbative physics, microscopic origin, and direct observation
Driven diffusive systems may undergo phase transitions to sustain atypical values of the current. This leads in some cases to symmetry-broken space-time trajectories which enhance the probability of…
Using Matrix Product States to Study the Dynamical Large Deviations of Kinetically Constrained Models.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that tensor network techniques-originally devised for the analysis of quantum many-body problems-are well suited for the detailed study of rare event statistics in kinetically constrained models (KCMs) and can study system sizes beyond what is possible with other methods.
Nonlinear transport coefficients from large deviation functions.
TLDR
A way to compute arbitrarily high order transport coefficients of stochastic systems, using the framework of large deviation theory, which establishes a thermodynamiclike relation for nonequilibrium response and provides a practical route to its evaluation, as large deviation functions are amenable to importance sampling.

Similarity of ensembles of trajectories of reversible and irreversible growth processes.
TLDR
It is shown at the mean-field level that dynamic trajectories of reversible and irreversible growth processes are similar in that both feel the influence of attractors, at which growth proceeds without limit but the intensive properties of the system are invariant.
Fluctuating observation time ensembles in the thermodynamics of trajectories
The dynamics of stochastic systems, both classical and quantum, can be studied by analysing the statistical properties of dynamical trajectories. The properties of ensembles of such trajectories for…
Simulating Rare Events in Dynamical Processes
Atypical, rare trajectories of dynamical systems are important: they are often the paths for chemical reactions, the haven of (relative) stability of planetary systems, the rogue waves that are…
Variational and optimal control representations of conditioned and driven processes
TLDR
These interpretations of the driven process generalize and unify many previous results on maximum entropy approaches to nonequilibrium systems, spectral characterizations of positive operators, and control approaches to large deviation theory and lead to new methods for analytically or numerically approximating large deviation functions.
Nonequilibrium Markov Processes Conditioned on Large Deviations
We consider the problem of conditioning a Markov process on a rare event and of representing this conditioned process by a conditioning-free process, called the effective or driven process. The basic…
Thermodynamic Formalism for Systems with Markov Dynamics
The thermodynamic formalism allows one to access the chaotic properties of equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium systems, by deriving those from a dynamical partition function. The definition that has…
A numerical approach to large deviations in continuous time
We present an algorithm to evaluate large deviation functions associated to history-dependent observables. Instead of relying on a time discretization procedure to approximate the dynamics, we…
First-order dynamical phase transition in models of glasses: an approach based on ensembles of histories
We investigate the dynamics of kinetically constrained models of glass formers by analysing the statistics of trajectories of the dynamics, or histories, using large deviation function methods. We…
Population-dynamics method with a multicanonical feedback control.
TLDR
This work discusses the Giardinà-Kurchan-Peliti population dynamics method for evaluating large deviations of time-averaged quantities in Markov processes, and demonstrates substantially improved results in a simple model.
Large deviations of the finite-time magnetization of the Curie-Weiss random-field Ising model.
TLDR
This work finds that in analogy to the Freidlin-Wentzell description of the stochastic dynamics of escape from metastable states, the dominant trajectories may switch between the two types (forward and backward) of first-order dynamics.
