Significantly, we find that the distribution of large current fluctuations does not satisfy the Gallavotti-Cohen symmetry and that such a breakdown can generally occur in systems with unbounded state space. We also discuss the dependence of the asymptotic current distribution on the initial state of the system.7 pages, 3 figures. v4: minor alterations for consistency with published version to be found at http://www.edpsciences.org/journal/index.cfm?edpsname=eplStatistical MechanicsBreakdown of Gallavotti-Cohen symmetry for stochastic dynamicstext
