Duality and fluctuation relations for statistics of currents on cyclic graphs
We consider stochastic motion of a particle on a cyclic graph with
arbitrarily periodic time dependent kinetic rates. We demonstrate duality
relations for statistics of currents in this model and in its continuous
version of a diffusion in one dimension. Our duality relations are valid beyond
detailed balance constraints and lead to exact expressions that relate
statistics of currents induced by dual driving protocols. We also show that
previously known no-pumping theorems and some of the fluctuation relations,
when they are applied to cyclic graphs or to one dimensional diffusion, are
special consequences of our duality.Comment: 2 figure, 6 pages (In twocolumn). Accepted by JSTA
