This generalizes one-dimensional results previously obtained with different approaches (Bertini et al. in J Stat Phys 123(2):237–276, 2006; Harris et al. in J Stat Mech Theory Exp 2005:P08003, 2005); our alternative techniques illuminate various connections and complementary perspectives. In particular, we here use a variational approach to derive the rate functional by contraction from a level 2.5 large deviation rate functional. We perform an exact minimization and finally obtain the rate functional as a variational problem involving a superposition of cost functions for each edge. The contributions from different edges are not independent since they are related by the values of a potential function on the nodes of the graph. The rate functional on the graph is a microscopic version of the continuous rate functional predicted by the macroscopic fluctuation theory (Bertini et al. in Rev Mod Phys 87(2):593–636, 2015), and we indeed show a convergence in the scaling limit. If we split the graph into two connected regions by a cutset and are interested just in the current flowing through the cutset, we find that the result is the same as that of an effective system composed of only one effective edge [as happens at macroscopic level and is expected also for other models (Akkermans et al. in Europhys Lett 103(2):20001, 2013)]. The characteristics of this effective edge are related to the “capacities” of the graph and can be obtained by a reduction using elementary transformations as in electrical networks; specifically, we treat components in parallel, in series, and in <i>N</i>-star configurations (reduced to effective complete <i>N</i>-graphs). Our reduction procedure is directly related to the reduction to the trace process (Landim in Probab Surv 16:143–227, 2019) and, since the dynamics is in general not reversible, it is also closely connected to the theory of non-reversible electrical networks in Balázs and Folly (Am Math Mon 123(7):657–682, 2016).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":463,"journal":{"name":"Annales Henri Poincaré","volume":"27 7","pages":"2605 - 2647"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00023-025-01582-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148458664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the principle, the distinctive topological properties of matter, thought of as extending indefinitely in space, are equivalently reflected in the excitations running along its boundary, when one is present. Indices encode those properties, and their values, when differing, are witness to a violation of that correspondence. We address such violations, as they are encountered in a hydrodynamic context. The model concerns a shallow layer of fluid in a rotating frame and provides a local description of waves propagating either across the oceans or along a coastline; it becomes topological when suitably modified at short distances. The edge index is sensitive to boundary conditions, as exemplified in earlier work, hence exhibiting a violation. Here we present classification of all (local, self-adjoint) boundary conditions and a parameterization of their manifold. They come in four families, distinguished in part by the degree of their underlying differential operators. Essentially, that degree counts the degrees of freedom of the hydrodynamic field that are constrained at the boundary by way of their normal derivatives. Generally, both the correspondence and its violation are typical. Within families though, the maximally possible amount of violation is increasing with its degree. Several indices of interest are charted for all boundary conditions. A single spectral mechanism for the onset of violations is furthermore identified. The role of a symmetry is investigated.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":463,"journal":{"name":"Annales Henri Poincaré","volume":"27 2","pages":"453 - 527"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00023-025-01577-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147337785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
