Uncovering nonequilibrium from unresolved events

Published 1 Feb 2024 in cond-mat.stat-mech | (2402.00837v3)

Abstract: Closely related to the laws of thermodynamics, the detection and quantification of disequilibria are crucial in unraveling the complexities of nature, particularly those beneath observable layers. Theoretical developments in nonequilibrium thermodynamics employ coarse-graining methods to consider a diversity of partial information scenarios that mimic experimental limitations, allowing the inference of properties such as the entropy production rate. A ubiquitous but rather unexplored scenario involves observing events that can possibly arise from many transitions in the underlying Markov process--which we dub $\textit{multifilar events}$--as in the cases of exchanges measured at particle reservoirs, hidden Markov models, mixed chemical and mechanical transformations in biological function, composite systems, and more. We relax one of the main assumptions in a previously developed framework, based on first-passage problems, to assess the non-Markovian statistics of mutifilar events. By using the asymmetry of event distributions and their waiting-times, we put forward model-free tools to detect nonequilibrium behavior and estimate entropy production, while discussing their suitability for different classes of systems and regimes where they provide no new information, evidence of nonequilibrium, a lower bound for entropy production, or even its exact value. The results are illustrated in reference models through analytics and numerics.
