Query: Far-from-Equilibrium Distribution from Near-Steady-State Work
  Fluctuations   A longstanding goal of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics has been to
extend the conceptual power of the Boltzmann distribution to driven systems. We
report some new progress towards this goal. Instead of writing the
nonequilibrium steady-state distribution in terms of perturbations around
thermal equilibrium, we start from the linearized driven dynamics of
observables about their stable fixed point, and expand in the strength of the
nonlinearities encountered during typical fluctuations away from the fixed
point. The first terms in this expansion retain the simplicity of known
expansions about equilibrium, but can correctly describe the statistics of a
certain class of systems even under strong driving. We illustrate this approach
by comparison with a numerical simulation of a sheared Brownian colloid, where
we find that the first two terms in our expansion are sufficient to account for
the shear thinning behavior at high shear rates.
