Broken detailed balance and non-equilibrium dynamics in living systems: a review

FS Gnesotto, F Mura, J Gladrow… - Reports on Progress in …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Living systems operate far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Enzymatic activity can induce
broken detailed balance at the molecular scale. This molecular scale breaking of detailed …

Irreversibility and biased ensembles in active matter: Insights from stochastic thermodynamics

É Fodor, RL Jack, ME Cates - Annual Review of Condensed …, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Active systems evade the rules of equilibrium thermodynamics by constantly dissipating
energy at the level of their microscopic components. This energy flux stems from the …

Non-reciprocal phase transitions

M Fruchart, R Hanai, PB Littlewood, V Vitelli - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Out of equilibrium, a lack of reciprocity is the rule rather than the exception. Non-reciprocity
occurs, for instance, in active matter,,,,–, non-equilibrium systems,–, networks of neurons …

Statistical mechanics of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles

D Martin, J O'Byrne, ME Cates, É Fodor, C Nardini… - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
We study the statistical properties of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles (AOUPs). In this
simplest of models, the Gaussian white noise of overdamped Brownian colloids is replaced …

- and -meson leptonic decay constants from four-flavor lattice QCD

A Bazavov, C Bernard, N Brown, C DeTar… - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
We calculate the leptonic decay constants of heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons with charm
and bottom quarks in lattice quantum chromodynamics on four-flavor QCD gauge-field …

Fluctuating hydrodynamics of chiral active fluids

M Han, M Fruchart, C Scheibner, S Vaikuntanathan… - Nature Physics, 2021 - nature.com
Active materials are characterized by continuous injection of energy at the microscopic level
and typically cannot be adequately described by equilibrium thermodynamics. Here we …

Active matter

S Ramaswamy - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The study of systems with sustained energy uptake and dissipation at the scale of the
constituent particles is an area of central interest in nonequilibrium statistical physics …

Spontaneous velocity alignment in motility-induced phase separation

L Caprini, U Marini Bettolo Marconi, A Puglisi - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
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 …

Isovector charges of the nucleon from -flavor lattice QCD

R Gupta, YC Jang, B Yoon, HW Lin, V Cirigliano… - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
We present high statistics results for the isovector charges g A ud, g S ud and g T ud of the
nucleon. Calculations were carried out on eleven ensembles of gauge configurations …

Quantifying dissipation using fluctuating currents

J Li, JM Horowitz, TR Gingrich, N Fakhri - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
Abstract Systems coupled to multiple thermodynamic reservoirs can exhibit nonequilibrium
dynamics, breaking detailed balance to generate currents. To power these currents, the …
