Stochastic thermodynamics for linear kinetic equations

Van den Broeck,C.;Toral,R.
Physical Review E 92, 012127 (2015)

Stochastic thermodynamics is formulated for variables that are odd under time reversal. The invariance under spatial rotation of the collision rates due to the isotropy of the heat bath is shown to be a crucial ingredient. An alternative detailed fluctuation theorem is derived, expressed solely in terms of forward statistics. It is illustrated for a linear kinetic equation with kangaroo rates.
