The study of fluctuations in statistical physics has a long history, and a general theory is well established, connecting fluctuations to response properties of equilibrium systems. Remarkably, this framework fails as soon as some current is flowing across the system, driving it out of equilibrium. The presence of currents is quite common in nature and produces rich phenomena which are far from being included in a general framework. This thesis focuses on this general problem by studying different models such as granular materials and systems exhibiting anomalous diffusion and shows how the...

Unraveling some of the complexities of describing systems destabilized by flowing currents, this notable thesis uses data derived from granular materials and anomalously diffused systems to prove the predictive capabilities of generalized response techniques.
