Fluctuation-Induced Forces in Nonequilibrium Diffusive Dynamics

Fluctuations in nonequilibrium steady states generically lead to power law decay of correlations for conserved quantities. Embedded bodies which constrain fluctuations, in turn, experience fluctuation induced forces. We compute these forces for the simple case of parallel slabs in a driven diffusive...
