We show how to write a set of brackets for the Langevin equation, describing the dissipative motion of a classical particle, subject to external random forces. The method does not rely on an action principle, and is based solely on the…

Diffusion in heterogeneous energy and diffusivity landscapes is widespread in biological systems. However, solving the Langevin equation in such environments introduces ambiguity due to the interpretation parameter $\alpha$, which depends…

In periodic, two-dimensional potentials a classical particle might be expected to escape from any finite region if it has enough energy to escape from a single cell. However, for a class of sinusoidal potentials in which the barriers…
