Uncertainty Relations and Fluctuation Theorems for Bayes Nets

摘要

Recent research has considered the stochastic thermodynamics of multiple interacting systems, representing the overall system as a Bayes net. I derive fluctuation theorems governing the entropy production (EP) of arbitrary sets of the systems in such a Bayes net. I also derive "conditional" fluctuation theorems, governing the distribution of EP in one set of systems conditioned on the EP of a different set of systems. I then derive thermodynamic uncertainty relations relating the EP of the overall system to the precisions of probability currents within the individual systems.
