Abstract
We obtain the exact probability of finding a macroscopic density profile in the stationary nonequilibrium state of an open driven diffusive system, when the size of the system . , which plays the role of a nonequilibrium free energy, has a very different structure from that found in the purely diffusive case. As there, is nonlocal, but the shocks and dynamic phase transitions of the driven system are reflected in nonconvexity of , in discontinuities in its second derivatives, and in non-Gaussian fluctuations in the steady state.
