We show differences in the structure of dynamical fluctuations for Markov processes between the reversible and non-reversible case. The rate function for the occupation statistics is connected with the entropy production, and the study of current fluctuations involves characterizations of the largest eigenvalue of some non-normal matrices. This is a joint work with Karel Netocny.
