Revealing hidden structures and symmetries in nonequilibrium transport

Abstract

Recent results have shown how to partition the space of Markov systems into dynamical equivalence classes. These equivalence classes structure transport properties in such a way that makes, among other features, their responses fully symmetric. In this note, I illustrate this approach on two representative systems. First, I derive analytical expressions for the equivalence classes of a disordered ring model. Second, I verify on a model of ion transport that, within an equivalence class, the response of coupled currents is symmetric both near and far from equilibrium.
