Violation of the second fluctuation-dissipation relation and entropy production in nonequilibrium medium

Abstract

We investigate a class of nonequilibrium media described by Langevin dynamics that satisfies the local detailed balance. For the effective dynamics of a probe immersed in the medium, we derive an inequality that bounds the violation of the second fluctuation-dissipation relation (FDR). We also discuss the validity of the effective dynamics. In particular, we show that the effective dynamics obtained from nonequilibrium linear response theory is consistent with that obtained from a singular perturbation method. As an example of these results, we propose a simple model for a nonequilibrium medium in which the particles are subjected to potentials that switch stochastically. For this model, we show that the second FDR is recovered in the fast switching limit, although the particles are out of equilibrium.
