We study a system of purely repulsive spherical self-propelled particles in the minimal setup inducing motility-induced phase separation (MIPS). We show that, even if explicit alignment …
We study how inertia affects the behavior of self-propelled particles moving through a viscous solvent by employing the underdamped version of the active Ornstein–Uhlenbeck …
We provide an analytical solution for the time-dependent Fokker-Planck equation for a two- dimensional active Brownian particle trapped in an isotropic harmonic potential. Using the …
Recent investigations of the phase diagram of spherical, purely repulsive, active particles established the existence of a transition from a liquidlike to a solidlike phase analogous to …
By employing a path integral formulation, we obtain the entropy production rate for a system of active Ornstein–Uhlenbeck particles (AOUP) both in the presence and in the absence of …
We propose a new overarching model for self-propelled particles that flexibly generates a full family of “descendants.” The general dynamics introduced in this paper, which we …
We study the noise-driven escape of active Brownian particles (ABPs) and run-and-tumble particles (RTPs) from confining potentials. In the small noise limit, we provide an exact …
Recently, it has been discovered that systems of active Brownian particles (APB) at high density organise their velocities into coherent domains showing large spatial structures in …
Rare transitions between long-lived metastable states underlie a great variety of physical, chemical and biological processes. Our quantitative understanding of reactive mechanisms …
