At present time, there is no universally accepted micro-scopic theory of the steady state of nonequilibrium sys-tems; we call nonequilibrium steady state the stationary state of a dissipative system. However, for small external forcings some properties of nonequilibrium steady states can be inferred by considering them as “small perturba-tions” of equilibrium states, which are well described by equilibrium statistical mechanics. As a result, the re-sponse to a small external forcing can be expressed, at least formally, in terms of quantities which are computed at equilibrium, through the so-called linear response

theory. Obviously, the linear response theory loses its

pre-dictive power when the forcings are not small, that is when the assumption of closeness to an equilibrium state is no longer justified; the goal of nonequilibrium statisti-cal mechanics is to provide relations between physistatisti-cal observables in the nonlinear regime that reduce, in par-ticular, to the usual linear response theory in the limit of zero forcings. Analogous to what happens at equilibrium with the ergodic hypothesis, one can attempt a descrip-tion of nonequilibrium steady states by making some as-sumptions on the dynamics and then checking if the the-oretical predictions which are eventually implied by the assumptions are consistent with the experiments; this is what Gallavotti and Cohen proposed with their chaotic

hypothesis (CH). This hypothesis consists of an

appar-ently very strong claim on the dynamics of the particles at the steady state; it assumes that for the purpose of studying macroscopic quantities a system exhibiting cha-otic motions may be considered chacha-otic in a “maximal” sense (which can be made mathematically precise). Ac-cepting this, if the law of motion is reversible under a suitably regular time reversal operation, then it is pos-sible to rigorously prove a nontrivial large deviation law for the rate of entropy production, which is the content of the so-called Gallavotti–Cohen (GC) fluctuation theorem (FT); this law has been successfully checked in many ex-periments, most of which numerical, in the past 15 years. Remarkably, in the limit of zero forcings the GC FT im-plies the Green–Kubo (GK) formula, a well-known result of linear response theory; in this paper we show that with little efforts, the GC FT allows to compute the higher

order corrections to linear response. As an application, we perform a check of the GC fluctuation relation by explicitly evaluating the first correction to linear response in a very simple model, whose dynamics is reversible un-der a continuous but not differentiable time reversal op-eration; we find that the lack of differentiability of the time reversal operator implies a violation of the fluctua-tion relafluctua-tion. However, in the considered case a different large deviation rule is true, which is essentially equivalent to the Lebowitz–Spohn FT.

I. INTRODUCTION

Despite many proposals have been advanced, a general theory of the steady state of dissipative systems is still lack-ing. Nevertheless, it is a remarkable fact that under suitable hypothesis something can be said and physical predictions can be made; for example, CH,1stating that for the purpose of studying macroscopic properties, a system exhibiting cha-otic motions may be regarded as a transitive hyperbolic共that is Anosov兲 one, see Ref.2, implies two remarkable results: the GC FT,3,4holding for reversible systems, and a formula describing the linear response of nonequilibrium systems due to Ruelle.5–7 These results have been and are still widely studied in the physical literature; see Ref.8共where a relation which inspired the FT was empirically discovered兲 and Refs. 9–13, for instance. In this note we focus on the first of these two results; in particular, in Sec. II we show that FT has some nice implications on nonlinear response 共in Ref. 14it has been already pointed out that FT implies the usual linear response theory, that is GK formula and Onsager reciprocity relations兲, while in Sec. III we discuss a check of the FT relation in a simple Anosov reversible system. Interestingly, a simple perturbative calculation shows that the lack of dif-ferentiability of the time reversal operator implies a violation of the GC fluctuation relation. Finally, in Sec. IV we show that in the presence of a nondifferentiable time reversal transformation an identity equivalent to a result proved by Lebowitz and Spohn in Ref. 15is true.

The connection between FT and nonlinear response con-sists of the fact that FT implies identities between correlation

functions of physical observables in a nonequilibrium steady state; this has been pointed out first in Ref. 16, where the authors considered systems whose evolution was stochastic and ruled by a master equation, and independently in Ref.17 in the context of deterministic systems satisfying CH. The results of Ref. 17 are presented in Secs. II and III of this paper.

Before turning to our results, we spend a few words on some of the main features of Anosov systems; we refer the interested reader to Ref. 2 for a modern introduction to the subject. Consider a generic discrete dynamical system xk= Skx0 共this is not a lack of generality, since S can be

thought as the map arising from the Poincaré section of a system evolving in continuous time, see Ref.19兲 and assume that S is Anosov; informally, this means that given a point x the nearby points separate exponentially fast from x in the future and in the past, except when located on a surface Ws共x兲 共stable manifold兲 or Wu共x兲 共unstable manifold兲,

re-spectively, for the future and for the past.

It is a well-known result that Anosov systems admit an invariant measure ␮+, the so-called Sinai–Ruelle–Bowen

共SRB兲 measure;18

in fact, given a sufficiently regular observ-able F共x兲 the following equality holds:

lim T→+⬁ 1 T

j=0 T−1 F共Sjx兲 =

␮+共dx兲F共x兲, 共1.1兲

apart from a set of points of zero volume measure. Remark-ably, the SRB measure admits in principle an explicit repre-sentation, similar to the equilibrium Gibbs distribution.

Notice that at equilibrium, that is when the system is stationary and nondissipative, the chaotic hypothesis implies the ergodic hypothesis, in the sense that assuming CH the SRB measure is the Liouville one; but in general, when dis-sipation is present the SRB measure is singular with respect to the volume, that is it is concentrated on a zero volume set. To conclude, the SRB measure verifies a large deviation theorem 共see, for example, Ref.19for a proof of this state-ment for a special choice of F and in the more complex case of Anosov flows兲. In fact, consider the finite time average f =␶−1兺j=−␶/2−1␶/2F共Sjx兲, where F共x兲 is Hölder continuous in x; then, it is possible to prove that there are values f1, f2 such

II. FLUCTUATION THEOREM AND NONLINEAR RESPONSE

Currently, no universally accepted definition of entropy for a dissipative system has been given. Nevertheless, the rate of entropy production is a well-defined quantity and is proportional to the work per unit time made by the thermo-stats on the system; the proportionality factor is the inverse of the temperature of the thermostats共setting to 1 the Bolt-zmann constant兲. In particular, for a special class of thermo-stats, the Gaussian ones, the entropy production rate

corre-sponds to the phase space contraction, that is to minus the divergence of the equations of motion, see Ref.20; this fact can be taken as a general definition of entropy production if one assumes that the steady state of a large system is not affected by the details of the thermostatting mechanism which ensures the existence of the steady state.

In the case of a system evolving in discrete time, which is the case that we want to consider, the entropy production rate ␴ is given by ␴共x兲=−log兩detS共x兲兩, whereS is the Jacobian of the time evolution S. Now, assume that the sys-tem is dissipative, i.e., that␴+⬅兰␮+共dx兲共x兲⬎0, let p be the

adimensional average over a time ␶ of ␴共x兲, that is p =共␶␴+兲−1

j=−␶/2

␶/2−1共Sjx兲, and call 共p兲 the large deviation

functional of ␴, as defined in Eq. 共1.2兲; assume that CH holds, and that the system is reversible, in the sense that there exists a differentiable isometry I such that IⴰS=S−1ⴰI,

IⴰI=1. Then, as proven by Gallavotti and Cohen, see Ref.3 or Ref.21for a detailed proof from a formal viewpoint, the following result holds.

Fluctuation Theorem: There is pⱖ1 such that for

This result has an interesting corollary. Setting ␲共q兲dq = Prob +共p苸关q,q+dq兴兲, define ␭共␤兲 as ␭共␤兲 = lim ␶→+⬁ 1 ␶log

e␶共q−1兲␴+␤␲␶共q兲dq. 共2.2兲 Clearly, ␭共␤兲 is related to ␨共p兲 through a Legendre trans-form, that is

−␨共p兲 = max

and, moreover,␭共␤兲 admits the following expansion:

␭共␤兲 =

n−1=−⬁ +⬁ 具␴共 · 兲␴共St1 ·兲 ¯␴共Stn−1·兲典 + Tn n!

where by具¯典+Twe denote the cumulant with respect to the SRB measure ␮+. It is straightforward to see that the FT

implies an identity for the generating functional ␭共␤兲, see Refs. 13and15–17for instance: it follows that as a conse-quence of the relation ␲共p兲⬃e␶p␴+␲

共−p兲, valid under the

hypothesis of FT,

␭共␤兲 = ␭共− 1 −␤兲 −␴+共2␤+ 1兲. 共2.5兲

Notice that the generating functional of the cumulants is usu-ally defined as 共see Refs. 13, 15, and 16兲 ␭˜共␤兲=lim␶→+⬁ −␶−1log具e−␶p␴+␤典, and with this definition the relation共2.5兲is replaced by the more familiar ␭˜共兲=␭˜共1−␤兲; but the two definitions are equivalent since ␭共␤兲=−␤␴+−␭˜共−␤兲.

For-mula共2.5兲translates immediately in a relation for␴+; in fact,

Eq. 共2.5兲evaluated at ␤= 0 becomes

which is a nontrivial identity for the cumulants valid at Gគ ⫽0គ. Finally, these identities can be considerably extended by using a generalized version of FT. Consider a generic observable O odd under time reversal, i.e., such that O共Ix兲=−O共x兲, assume that the system is dissipative and that O+⬅兰␮+共dx兲O共x兲⫽0, let w be the adimensional average over a time ␶ of O共x兲, that is w=共O+兲−1兺j=−␶/2−1␶/2O共S

into an identity for the generating functional, namely, ␭共␤1,␤2兲 = ␭共− 1 −␤1,−␤2兲 − 共2␤1+ 1兲␴+− 2␤2O+,

III. CHECK OF FLUCTUATION THEOREM FOR A SIMPLE ANOSOV SYSTEM

In this section we will perform a check of the fluctuation relation共2.1兲for a simple Anosov model, the perturbed Ar-nold cat map, starting from the identities 共2.6兲and共2.9兲; as we are going to see, the lack of differentiability of the time reversal operator implies a violation of Eq. 共2.1兲. Consider

(5)

the following discrete evolution on the bidimensional torus T2: xk= Skxគ0 mod 2␲, 共3.1兲 where Sxគ = Sxគ + ␧fគ共xគ兲, S ⬅

1 1 1 2

, គ共xគ兲 =f

f1共xគ兲 f2共xគ兲

, 共3.2兲 and f1共xគ兲, f2共xគ兲 are trigonometric polynomials. The map S is

the so-called Arnod cat map, which is the simplest example of Anosov map: in fact, the eigenvalues␭+,␭−of S are such

that␭+⬎1, ␭−⬍1. Moreover, the map S is reversible, that is

there exists I such that IⴰS=S−1ⴰI, IⴰI=1, where

I =

− 1 0

− 1 1

. 共3.3兲

Notice that since S is conservative 共det S=1兲 ␴+= 0, which

makes meaningless the fluctuation relation 共2.1兲if␧=0 共the adimensional quantity p is not defined兲; but one can derive the analogous of Eq. 共2.1兲 for the dimensional quantity p

=␴+p, and this relation becomes trivial if the evolution is

conservative because in this case p

= 0.

Consider now ␧⫽0. By the structural stability of Anosov systems, the evolution generated by S is still Anosov provided ␧ is chosen small enough. In fact, there exists ␧0⬎0 such that for ␧⬍␧0 a conjugation H, defined by the identity SⴰH= HⴰS, can be explicitly constructed through a convergent power series in␧, and it turns out that H共xគ兲 is Hölder continuous in xគ.2 In an analogous way, the SRB measure can be explicitly constructed, and it follows that the expectations of Hölder continuous functions exist and are analytic in ␧.2 In particular it follows that, generi-cally,

␴+⬅ 具− log兩det⳵S␧兩典+⬎ 0, 共3.4兲

which means that the system is dissipative, so that the invari-ant measure is singular with respect to the volume; hence, the check of the fluctuation relation共2.1兲is nontrivial in this case. Notice that the proof of FT 共Ref.21兲 requires that the evolution is reversible, and in particular that the time rever-sal operator is differentiable; in our specific case the exis-tence of H implies that I= HⴰIⴰH−1 verifies IⴰS= S−1 ⴰI, but due to the mild regularity properties of H, I共xគ兲 is likely to be not differentiable. Here, the time reversal opera-tor Iassociated to the map S is perturbatively constructed as a convergent power series in␧ starting from I; time rever-sal symmetry is not destroyed by small perturbations. How-ever, it is interesting to notice that there exist classes of dis-sipative Anosov flows for which time reversal symmetry holds for any value of the forcings; see the “Gaussian ther-mostat case” of Ref.23for instance, where the time reversal operation is simply the inversion of the velocities. The con-tinuous time dynamics of the Anosov flows can be reduced to discrete ones by repeating the analysis of Ref. 19.

One can ask what happens to the fluctuation relation in the simple case we are considering; to understand this, we

make the choice f1共xគ兲=sin共x1兲+sin共2x1兲, f2共xគ兲=0. An ex-plicit computation shows that the linear response is still valid, as expected, and that

C3= − 12␧3+ O共␧4兲, 共3.5兲

i.e., formula共2.9兲with n = 3 is false at the lowest nontrivial order in perturbation theory, since it tells that C3= C4/2 + O共␧5兲 and C

4= O共␧4兲. This is enough to say that Eq.共2.1兲is

violated; in fact, from Eq. 共2.3兲 it follows that17 共using the linear response relation ␴+=共1/2兲C2+ O共␧3兲兲:

result also shows that as expected, I cannot be differen-tiable: a check that would be not so easy without using the FT.

IV. CONCLUSIONS

The GC FT implies nontrivial identities between corre-lation functions valid at nonzero forcing Gគ which reduce to the usual linear response in the limit Gគ →0គ. Through a check of these identities in a simple Anosov system, we have shown that it is essential that the time reversal transformation be共continuously兲 differentiable for the fluctuation relation to hold. Indeed, we considered a model that admits a time re-versal transformation which is only Hölder continuous, and we have found that the identities implied by the fluctuation relation are not true at the third order in the forcing 共while the linear response, corresponding to the second order, is still valid, as expected兲; this is enough to prove that the fluctua-tion relafluctua-tion cannot hold in the case we considered. Notice, however, that in physical applications the time reversal trans-formation is usually regular; for instance, it can correspond to the inversion of velocities共or to more subtle permutations of coordinates, see Ref.24兲.

To conclude, it is interesting to note that in the presence of a nondifferentiable time reversal operator I a different FT holds, the Lebowitz–Spohn one, see Ref.15; strictly speak-ing this theorem has been proved in the context of general Markov processes, but it can be understood also in the case of deterministic chaotic dynamics. This result applies in par-ticular to systems that are 共suitably small兲 perturbations of reversible Anosov ones, since, as it has been pointed out in Sec. III, by the structural stability of Anosov dynamics the time reversal symmetry is not destroyed by the perturbation 共although it will be in general only Hölder continuous in x兲. The fact that a fluctuation relation still holds is a natural consequence of the Gibbsian nature of the invariant measure

describing the steady state; this has been pointed out in Ref. 25where a FT for the one-dimensional Ising model in an external field was derived, and then systematized in Ref. 26, where large deviation rules for Gibbs states involving transformations different from time reversal were discussed.
