Abstract
The characteristic function for heat fluctuations in a nonequilibrium system is characterised by a large deviation function whose symmetry gives rise to a fluctuation theorem. In equilibrium the large deviation function vanishes and the heat fluctuations are bounded. Here we consider the characteristic function for heat fluctuations in equilibrium, constituting a sub-leading correction to the large deviation behaviour. Modelling the system by an oscillator coupled to an explicit multi-oscillator heat reservoir we evaluate the characteristic function.
