Large Deviations of the Current in Non-Equilibrium Systems

Using the hydrodynamic limit theory, we will review the large deviations of the heat current through a diffusive system maintained off equilibrium by two heat baths at unequal temperatures. We will also discuss a toy model for dissipative dynamics related to granular materials.
