A shortcut through macroscopic fluctuation theory: a generalised Fick law

Macroscopic fluctuation theory is a powerful tool to characterise the large-scale dynamical properties of diffusive systems, both in and out of equilibrium. It relies on an action formalism in which, at large scales, the dynamics are fully determined by the minimum of the action. Within this formali…
