Abstract

Stochastic Thermodynamics (ST) extends the notions of classical\nthermodynamics to trajectories taken from a nonequilibrium ensemble. This\nextension yields a simple approach to fluctuation relations in small systems.\nMultiple time- and length scales play an important role for measurements but\nalso for the foundations of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Here, under\nthe assumptions of local equilibrium we derive the trajectory functionals of ST\nin the context of reversible deterministic thermostats. Further, the connection\nto previous work is made.\n
