The East model is the simplest one-dimensional kinetically-constrained model of $N$ spins with a trivial equilibrium that displays anomalously large spatio-temporal fluctuations, with characteristic space-time bubbles in trajectory space, and with a discontinuity at the origin for the first derivative of the scaled cumulant generating function of the total activity. These striking dynamical properties are revisited via the large deviations at Level 2.5 for the relevant local empirical densities and flows that only involve two consecutive spins. This framework allows to characterize their anomalous rate functions and to analyze the consequences for all the time-additive observables that can be reconstructed from them, both for the pure and for the random East model. These singularities in dynamical large deviations properties disappear when the hard-constraint of the East model is replaced by the soft constraint.

Here we demonstrate that tensor network techniques - originally devised for the analysis of quantum many-body problems - are well suited for the detailed study of rare event statistics in kinetically constrained models (KCMs). As concrete examples we consider the Fredrickson-Andersen and East models, two paradigmatic KCMs relevant to the modelling of glasses. We show how variational matrix product states allow to numerically approximate - systematically and with high accuracy - the leading eigenstates of the tilted dynamical generators which encode the large deviation statistics of the dynamics. Via this approach we can study system sizes beyond what is possible with other methods, allowing us to characterise in detail the finite size scaling of the trajectory-space phase transition of these models, the behaviour of spectral gaps, and the spatial structure and entanglement properties of dynamical phases. We discuss the broader implications of our results.
We use a neural network ansatz originally designed for the variational optimization of quantum systems to study dynamical large deviations in classical ones. We obtain the scaled cumulant-generating function for the dynamical activity of the Fredrickson-Andersen model, a prototypical kinetically constrained model, in one and two dimensions, and present the first size-scaling analysis of the dynamical activity in two dimensions. These results provide a new route to the study of dynamical large-deviation functions, and highlight the broad applicability of the neural-network state ansatz across domains in physics.
The typical values and fluctuations of time-integrated observables of nonequilibrium processes driven in steady states are known to be characterized by large deviation functions, generalizing the entropy and free energy to nonequilibrium systems. The definition of these functions involves a scaling limit, similar to the thermodynamic limit, in which the integration time $tau$ appears linearly, unless the process considered has long-range correlations, in which case $tau$ is generally replaced by $tau^xi$ with $xi eq 1$. Here we show that such an anomalous power-law scaling in time of large deviations can also arise without long-range correlations in Markovian processes as simple as the Langevin equation. We describe the mechanism underlying this scaling using path integrals and discuss its physical consequences for more general processes.
Employing the optimal fluctuation method (OFM), we study the large deviation function of long-time averages $(1/T)int_{-T/2}^{T/2} x^n(t) dt$, $n=1,2, dots$, of centered stationary Gaussian processes. These processes are correlated and, in general, non-Markovian. We show that the anomalous scaling with time of the large-deviation function, recently observed for $n>2$ for the particular case of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, holds for a whole class of stationary Gaussian processes.
Chemical reaction networks offer a natural nonlinear generalisation of linear Markov jump processes on a finite state-space. In this paper, we analyse the dynamical large deviations of such models, starting from their microscopic version, the chemical master equation. By taking a large-volume limit, we show that those systems can be described by a path integral formalism over a Lagrangian functional of concentrations and chemical fluxes. This Lagrangian is dual to a Hamiltonian, whose trajectories correspond to the most likely evolution of the system given its boundary conditions. The same can be done for a system biased on time-averaged concentrations and currents, yielding a biased Hamiltonian whose trajectories are optimal paths conditioned on those observables. The appropriate boundary conditions turn out to be mixed, so that, in the long time limit, those trajectories converge to well-defined attractors. We are then able to identify the largest value that the Hamiltonian takes over those attractors with the scaled cumulant generating function of our observables, providing a non-linear equivalent to the well-known Donsker-Varadhan formula for jump processes. On that basis, we prove that chemical reaction networks that are deterministically multistable generically undergo first-order dynamical phase transitions in the vicinity of zero bias. We illustrate that fact through a simple bistable model called the Schlogl model, as well as multistable and unstable generalisations of it, and we make a few surprising observations regarding the stability of deterministic fixed points, and the breaking of ergodicity in the large-volume limit.
