Fluctuation theorem for the effusion of an ideal gas.

The probability distribution of the entropy production for the effusion of an ideal gas between two compartments is calculated explicitly. The fluctuation theorem is verified. The analytic results are in good agreement with numerical data from hard disk molecular dynamics simulations.

Fluctuation and dissipation of work in a Joule experiment.

We elucidate the connection between various fluctuation theorems by a microcanonical version of the Crooks relation. We derive the microscopically exact expression for the work distribution in an idealized Joule experiment, namely, for a convex object moving at constant speed through an ideal gas. Analytic results are compared with molecular dynamics simulations of a hard disk gas.

Moving backward noisily.

We discuss the fundamental physical differences and the mathematical interconnections of counterintuitive transport and response properties in Brownian motion far from equilibrium. After reviewing the ubiquity of such effects in physical and other systems, we illustrate the general properties on paradigmatic models for both individually and collectively acting Brownian particles.

Random walks with absolute negative mobility.

We introduce simple non-Markovian modifications to the standard random walk resulting in absolute negative mobility, i.e., the response to an external force is always opposite to the direction of the force.
