Hitherto it had been thought that the presence of some thermostatting mechanism was an essential component of any system which satisfies a Fluctuation Theorem. In the present paper we show that a Fluctuation Theorem can be derived for purely Hamiltonian systems, with or without applied dissipative fields.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2000-08-29T23:19:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fluctuation theorem", "chateliers principle", "time averaged entropy production", "finite system", "purely hamiltonian systems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
