Time irreversibility in active matter, from micro to macro

J O'Byrne, Y Kafri, J Tailleur, F van Wijland - Nature Reviews Physics, 2022 - nature.com
Active matter encompasses systems whose individual constituents dissipate energy to exert
propelling forces on their environment. These systems exhibit dynamical phenomena with …

Collective forces in scalar active matter

T Speck - Soft Matter, 2020 - pubs.rsc.org
Large-scale collective behavior in suspensions of active particles can be understood from
the balance of statistical forces emerging beyond the direct microscopic particle interactions …

Steady state, relaxation and first-passage properties of a run-and-tumble particle in one-dimension

K Malakar, V Jemseena, A Kundu… - Journal of Statistical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the motion of a run-and-tumble particle (RTP) in one dimension. We find the
exact probability distribution of the particle with and without diffusion on the infinite line, as …

Many-species ecological fluctuations as a jump process from the brink of extinction

T Arnoulx de Pirey, G Bunin - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
Highly diverse ecosystems exhibit a broad distribution of population sizes and species
turnover, where species at high and low abundances are exchanged over time. We show …

Analytic solution of an active Brownian particle in a harmonic well

M Caraglio, T Franosch - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
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 …

Active Brownian motion in two dimensions

U Basu, SN Majumdar, A Rosso, G Schehr - Physical Review E, 2018 - APS
We study the dynamics of a single active Brownian particle (ABP) in two spatial dimensions.
The ABP has an intrinsic timescale DR− 1 set by the rotational diffusion constant DR. We …

Steady state of an active Brownian particle in a two-dimensional harmonic trap

K Malakar, A Das, A Kundu, KV Kumar, A Dhar - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
We find an exact series solution for the steady-state probability distribution of a harmonically
trapped active Brownian particle in two dimensions in the presence of translational diffusion …

Run-and-tumble motion in a linear ratchet potential: Analytic solution, power extraction, and first-passage properties

C Roberts, Z Zhen - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We explore the properties of run-and-tumble particles moving in a piecewise-linear “ratchet”
potential by deriving analytic results for the system's steady-state probability density, current …

Surfing and crawling macroscopic active particles under strong confinement: Inertial dynamics

M Leoni, M Paoluzzi, S Eldeen, A Estrada… - Physical Review …, 2020 - APS
We study two types of active (self-propelled) macroscopic particles under confinement:
camphor surfers and hexbug crawlers, using a combined experimental, theoretical, and …
