Accelerating stochastic processes through nonequilibrium driving: Thermodynamic constraints on the maximum speed-up
Davide Santolin, Gianmaria Falasco
We derive a new set of bounds controlling the speed-up of the survival rate of trajectory-dependent observables induced by the application of a perturbation. Via the study of survi…
Quantifying dissipation in flocking dynamics: When tracking internal states matters
Karel Proesmans, Gianmaria Falasco, Atul Tanaji Mohite +2
Aligning self-propelled particles undergo a nonequilibrium flocking transition from apolar to polar phases as their interactions become stronger. We propose a thermodynamically con…
Dissipation bounds the coherence of stochastic limit cycles
Davide Santolin, Gianmaria Falasco
Overdamped stochastic systems maintained far from equilibrium can display sustained oscillations with fluctuations that decrease with the system size. The correlation time of such…
Fluctuations of driven probes reveal nonequilibrium transitions in complex fluids
Danilo Forastiere, Emanuele Locatelli, Gianmaria Falasco +2
Complex fluids subjected to localized microscopic energy inputs, typical of active microrheology setups, exhibit poorly understood nonequilibrium behaviors because of the intricate…
Bridging Freidlin-Wentzell large deviations theory and stochastic thermodynamics
Davide Santolin, Nahuel Freitas, Massimiliano Esposito +1
For overdamped Langevin systems subjected to weak thermal noise and nonconservative forces, we establish a connection between Freidlin-Wentzell large deviations theory and stochast…
Methods and Conversations in (Post)Modern Thermodynamics
Francesco Avanzini, Massimo Bilancioni, Vasco Cavina +19
Lecture notes after the doctoral school (Post)Modern Thermodynamics held at the University of Luxembourg, December 2022, 5-7, covering and advancing continuous-time Markov chains,…
Macroscopic Stochastic Thermodynamics
Gianmaria Falasco, Massimiliano Esposito
Starting at the mesoscopic level with a general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics in terms of Markov jump processes, we identify the scaling conditions that ensure the emerg…
Effective estimation of entropy production with lacking data
Marco Baiesi, Tomohiro Nishiyama, Gianmaria Falasco
Observing stochastic trajectories with rare transitions between states, practically undetectable on time scales accessible to experiments, makes it impossible to directly quantify…
Nonequilibrium calcium dynamics optimizes the energetic efficiency of mitochondrial metabolism
Valérie Voorsluijs, Francesco Avanzini, Gianmaria Falasco +2
Living organisms continuously harness energy to perform complex functions for their adaptation and survival while part of that energy is dissipated in the form of heat or chemical…
Generalized equipartition for nonlinear multiplicative Langevin dynamics: application to laser-cooled atoms
Gianmaria Falasco, Eli Barkai, Marco Baiesi
The virial theorem, and the equipartition theorem in the case of quadratic degrees of freedom, are handy constraints on the statistics of equilibrium systems. Their violation is in…
The Thermo-Kinetic Relations
Jean-Charles Delvenne, Gianmaria Falasco
Thermo-Kinetic relations bound thermodynamic quantities such as entropy production with statistics of dynamical observables. We introduce a Thermo-Kinetic Relation to bound the ent…
Beyond Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relations: nonlinear response, error-dissipation trade-offs, and speed limits
Gianmaria Falasco, Massimiliano Esposito, Jean-Charles Delvenne
From a recent geometric generalization of Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relations (TURs) we derive novel upper bounds on the nonlinear response of an observable of an arbitrary system…
Linear response in large deviations theory: A method to compute non-equilibrium distributions
Nahuel Freitas, Gianmaria Falasco, Massimiliano Esposito
We consider thermodynamically consistent autonomous Markov jump processes displaying a macroscopic limit in which the logarithm of the probability distribution is proportional to a…
Tight uncertainty relations for cycle currents
Matteo Polettini, Gianmaria Falasco, Massimiliano Esposito
Several recent inequalities bound the precision of a current - counting net number of transitions in a system - by a thermodynamic measure of dissipation. However, while currents m…
Coarse Graining Nonisothermal Microswimmer Suspensions
Sven Auschra, Dipanjan Chakraborty, Gianmaria Falasco +2
We investigate coarse-grained models of suspended self-thermophoretic microswimmers. Upon heating, the Janus spheres, with hemispheres made of different materials, induce a heterog…
Local detailed balance across scales: from diffusions to jump processes and beyond
Gianmaria Falasco, Massimiliano Esposito
Diffusive dynamics in presence of deep energy minima and weak nongradient forces can be coarse-grained into a mesoscopic jump process over the various basins of attraction. Combini…
Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Non-Ideal Chemical Reaction Networks
Francesco Avanzini, Emanuele Penocchio, Gianmaria Falasco +1
All current formulations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics of open chemical reaction networks rely on the assumption of non-interacting species. We develop a general theory which ac…
Jarzynski Equality for Soret Equilibria -- Virtues of Virtual Potentials
Tobias Thalheim, Marco Braun, Gianmaria Falasco +2
The Jarzynski equality relates the free energy difference between two equilibrium states to the fluctuating irreversible work afforded to switch between them. The prescribed fixed…
Thermodynamics of Non-Elementary Chemical Reaction Networks
Francesco Avanzini, Gianmaria Falasco, Massimiliano Esposito
We develop a thermodynamic framework for closed and open chemical networks applicable to non-elementary reactions that do not need to obey mass action kinetics. It only requires th…

We study the current response to periodic driving of a crucial biochemical reaction network, namely, substrate inhibition. We focus on the conversion rate of substrate into product…
Chemical Cloaking
Francesco Avanzini, Gianmaria Falasco, Massimiliano Esposito
Hiding an object in a chemical gradient requires to suppress the distortions it would naturally cause on it. To do so, we propose a strategy based on coating the object with a chem…
