Abstract

Fluctuations in the steady state of macroscopic systems can be described by non-equilibrium potentials, whose theory has been developed considerably during the last two decades. In the present lecture we review some recent developments connected with the appearance of plateaus in the non-equilibrium potential in regions of configuration space containing saddles of the deterministic dynamics.
