We are interested in the extension of the Donsker-Varadhan theory for a large size non-equilibrium system: the one-dimensional symmetric simple exclusion process connected with reservoirs at different densities. The Donsker-Varadhan functional encodes a variety of scales depending on the observable of interest. In this paper, we focus on the time-averaged two point correlations and investigate the large deviations from the steady state behaviour. To control two point correlations out of equilibrium, the key input is the construction of a simple approximation to the invariant measure. This approximation is quantitative in time and space as estimated through relative entropy bounds building on the work of Jara and Menezes arXiv:1810.09526.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-12-22T09:34:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35", "60F10", "82C20", "82C22", "60J27" ], "keywords": [ "large deviations", "equilibrium correlations", "one-dimensional symmetric simple exclusion process", "donsker-varadhan theory", "point correlations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 102, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
