Noncyclic geometric phase in counting statistics and its role as an excess contribution
arXiv:1303.0623 · doi:10.1088/1751-8113/46/28/285001
Abstract
We propose an application of fiber bundles to counting statistics. The framework of the fiber bundles gives a splitting of a cumulant generating function for current in a stochastic process, i.e., contributions from the dynamical phase and the geometric phase. We will show that the introduced noncyclic geometric phase is related to a kind of excess contributions, which have been investigated a lot in nonequilibrium physics. Using a specific nonequilibrium model, the characteristics of the noncyclic geometric phase are discussed; especially, we reveal differences between a geometric contribution for the entropy production and the `excess entropy production' which has been used to discuss the second law of steady state thermodynamics.
