Fluctuations determining response in nonequilibrium systems


In or close-to-equilibrium response to external stimuli and statistical forces are primarily entropic and governed by the standard thermodynamic potentials. We report on a program of identifying a unifying kinetic feature, called the frenetic contribution, to complement entropy considerations in the study of nonequilibrium behavior. We therefore present extensions of the first and second fluctuation-dissipation relation for driven systems or for probes in contact with nonequilibrium (active) baths.
