We investigate the behaviour of a family of entropy production functionals associated to stochastic differential equations of the form $\mathrm{d} X_s = -\nabla V(X_s) \, \mathrm{d} s + b(X_s) \, \mathrm{d} s + \sqrt{2\epsilon} \, \mathrm{d} W_s $, where $b$ is a globally Lipschitz nonconservative vector field keeping the system out of equilibrium, with emphasis on the large-time limit and then the vanishing-noise limit. Different members of the family correspond to different choices of…

A Gallavotti–Cohen-Type Symmetry in the Large Deviation Functional for Stochastic Dynamics
We extend the work of Kurchan on the Gallavotti–Cohen fluctuation theorem, which yields a symmetry property of the large deviation function, to general Markov processes. These include jump processes…
