Entropy production in thermostats II (2006)

Abstract
We show that an arbitrary Anosov Gaussian thermostat close to equilibrium has positive entropy poduction unless the external field $E$ has a global potential. The configuration space is allowed to have any dimension and magnetic forces are also allowed. We also show the following non-perturbative result. Suppose a Gaussian thermostat satisfies \[K_{w}(\sigma)+{1/4}|E_{\sigma}|^2
