A mathematical approach to the nonequilibrium work theorem
arXiv:math/0701360
Abstract
We develop a mathematical approach to the nonequilibrium work theorem which is traditionally referred to in statistical mechanics as Jarzynski's identity. We suggest a mathematically rigorous formulation and proof of the identity.
