Universal ideal behavior and macroscopic work relation of linear irreversible stochastic thermodynamics

We revisit the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process as the fundamental mathematical description of linear irreversible phenomena, with fluctuations, near an equilibrium. By identifying the underlying circulating dynamics in a stationary process as the natural generalization of classical conservative mech...
