Thermodynamic geometry of friction on graphs: Resistance, commute times, and optimal transport
Jordan R Sawchuk, David A Sivak
We demonstrate that the thermodynamic friction metric governing dissipation in slowly driven continuous-time Markov chains is equivalent to the commute-time embedding and the resis…

Global thermodynamic manifold for conservative control of stochastic systems
Jordan R. Sawchuk, David A. Sivak
Optimal control of stochastic systems plays a central role in nonequilibrium physics, with applications in the study of biological molecular motors and the design of single-molecul…
