A Minimal Thermodynamically Consistent Chemical Oscillator

Benedikt Remlein, Luca Monari, Beatrice Bartolomei +3

Inspired by the chemical reaction network considered as the smallest system featuring a Hopf bifurcation and its reversible extension, we introduce an even more minimal reaction ne…

Identifying Non-Ideal Reaction-Diffusion Systems Unable to Maintain Diffusion Out-of-Equilibrium

Francesco Avanzini, Timur Aslyamov, Massimiliano Esposito

We develop a general method, based on the construction of a kinetic potential serving as a Lyapunov function, to establish when diffusion necessarily equilibrates in non-ideal reac…

Emergence of Open Chemical Reaction Network Thermodynamics within Closed Systems

Benedikt Remlein, Massimiliano Esposito, Francesco Avanzini

Under which conditions do the dynamics and thermodynamics of open chemical reaction networks (CRNs), grounded on the notion of idealized chemostats that exchange selected species,…

Dynamical Fluctuation-Response Relations

Timur Aslyamov, Massimiliano Esposito

We derive exact dynamical fluctuation-response relations (FRRs) for time-integrated observables of any nonautonomous Markov jump process. The finite-time covariance splits into an…

Coarse Graining Photo-Isomerization Reactions: Thermodynamic Consistency and Implications for Molecular Ratchets

Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito, Emanuele Penocchio

We formulate thermodynamically consistent coarse-graining procedures for molecular systems undergoing thermally and photo-induced transitions: starting from elementary vibronic tra…

What is a chemostat? Insights from hybrid dynamics and stochastic thermodynamics

Benedikt Remlein, Massimiliano Esposito, Francesco Avanzini

At the microscopic scale, open chemical reaction networks are described by stochastic reactions that follow mass-action kinetics and are coupled to chemostats. We show that closed…

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Non-Ideal Reaction-Diffusion Systems: Implications for Active Self-Organization

Francesco Avanzini, Timur Aslyamov, Étienne Fodor +1

We develop a framework describing the dynamics and thermodynamics of open non-ideal reaction-diffusion systems, which embodies Flory-Huggins theories of mixtures and chemical react…

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,…

Characterizing the Conditions for Indefinite Growth in Open Chemical Reaction Networks

Shesha Gopal Marehalli Srinivas, Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito

The thermodynamic and dynamical conditions necessary to observe indefinite growth in homogeneous open chemical reaction networks (CRNs) satisfying mass action kinetics were present…

Thermodynamics of Growth in Open Chemical Reaction Networks

Shesha Gopal Marehalli Srinivas, Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito

We identify the thermodynamic conditions necessary to observe indefinite growth in homogeneous open chemical reaction networks (CRNs) satisfying mass action kinetics. We also chara…

Dissipation in noisy chemical networks: The role of deficiency

Matteo Polettini, Artur Wachtel, Massimiliano Esposito

We study the effect of intrinsic noise on the thermodynamic balance of complex chemical networks subtending cellular metabolism and gene regulation. A topological network property…

Efficiency statistics at all times: Carnot limit at finite power

Matteo Polettini, Gatien Verley, Massimiliano Esposito

We derive the statistics of the efficiency under the assumption that thermodynamic fluxes fluctuate with normal law, parametrizing it in terms of time, macroscopic efficiency, and…
