Martingale structure for general thermodynamic functionals of diffusion processes under second-order averaging

Abstract

Novel hidden thermodynamic structures have recently been uncovered during the investigation of nonequilibrium thermodynamics for multiscale stochastic processes. Here we reveal the martingale structure for a general thermodynamic functional of inhomogeneous singularly perturbed diffusion processes under second-order averaging, where a general thermodynamic functional is defined as the logarithmic Radon-Nykodim derivative between the laws of the original process and a comparable process (forward case) or its time reversal (backward case). In the forward case, we prove that the regular and anomalous parts of a thermodynamic functional are orthogonal martingales. In the backward case, while the regular part may not be a martingale, we prove that the anomalous part is still a martingale. With the aid of the martingale structure, we prove the integral fluctuation theorem satisfied by the regular and anomalous parts of a general thermodynamic functional. Further extensions and applications to stochastic thermodynamics are also discussed, including the martingale structure and fluctuation theorems for the regular and anomalous parts of entropy production and housekeeping heat in the absence or presence of odd variables.
