We consider an open one dimensional lattice gas on sites i = 1,...,N, with particles jumping independently with rate I to neighboring interior empty sites, the simple symmetric exclusion process. The particle fluxes at the left and right boundaries, corresponding to exchanges with reservoirs at different chemical potentials, create a stationary nonequilibrium state (SNS) with a steady flux of particles through the system. The mean density profile in this state, which is linear, describes the typical behavior of a macroscopic system, i.e., this profile occurs with probability I when N --> infinity. The probability of microscopic configurations corresponding to some other profile p(x), x = i/N, has the asymptotic form exp[-NF({rho})]; F is the large deviation functional. In contrast to equilibrium systems, for which F-eq({rho}) is just the integral of the appropriately normalized local free energy density, the F we find here for the nonequilibrium system is a nonlocal function of rho. This gives rise to the long range correlations in the SNS predicted by fluctuating hydrodynamics and suggests similar nonlocal behavior of F in general SNS, where the long range correlations have been observed experimentally.
