Geometric decomposition of entropy production in out-of-equilibrium systems

Two qualitatively different ways of driving a physical system out of equilibrium, i.e., time-dependent and nonconservative forcing, are reflected by the decomposition of the system's entropy production into excess and housekeeping parts. We show that the difference between these two types of dr...
