Remarkable aspects in Stochastic Thermodynamics*

Over the last two decades, stochastic thermodynamics has become one of the main cornestones of the modern statistical mechanics. Due to its large applicability, it has been employed for the description of several problems, such as efficiency of thermal engines at finite time, phase transitions, chemical reactions, uncertainties relations and others. Close to equilibrium, one can use this framework to determine the thermodynamic fluxes, such as heat and work, and showing that they satisfy general properties, such as Onsager and the Green-Kubo relations. In this talk, we present some recent results about stochastic thermodynamics, including a (general) linear description of markovian systems in contact with multiple reservoirs, general descriptions at nonequilibrium phase transition regimes and efficiency of thermal engines subject to sequential periodic drivings.
