We derive the hydrodynamic equations of motion for a fluid of active particles described by under- damped Langevin equations that reduce to the Active-Brownian-Particle model, in the overdamped limit. The contraction into the hydrodynamic…

In a microrheological set-up a single probe particle immersed in a complex fluid is exposed to a strong external force driving the system out of equilibrium. Here, we elaborate analytically the time-dependent response of a probe particle in…

A considerable number of systems have recently been reported in which Brownian yet non-Gaussian dynamics was observed. These are processes characterised by a linear growth in time of the mean squared displacement, yet the probability…

The directional transport of finite size self-propelled Brownian particles confined in a 2D zigzag channel with colored noise is investigated. The noises(noise parallel to x-axis and y-axis), the asymmetry parameter {\Delta}k, the ratio…

We consider a model of Non-Brownian self-propelled particles with anti-alignment interactions where particles try to avoid each other by attempting to turn into opposite directions. The particles undergo apparent Brownian motion, even…

We study a system of reflected Brownian motions on the positive half-line in which each particle has a drift toward the origin determined by the local times at the origin of all the particles. If this local time drift is too strong, such…

Statistical properties of Brownian motion that arise by analyzing, separately, trajectories over which the system energy increases (upside) or decreases (downside) with respect to a threshold energy level, are derived. This selective…

We study the behaviour of a Brownian particle in the overdamped regime in the presence of a harmonic potential, assuming its diffusion coefficient to randomly jump between two distinct values. In particular, we characterize the probability…

There is a growing interest in the stochastic processes of nonequilibrium systems subject to non-conserved forces, such as the magnetic forces acting on charged particles and the chiral self-propelled force acting on active particles. In…

We focus on the dynamics of a Brownian particle whose mass fluctuates. First we show that the behaviour is similar to that of a Brownian particle moving in a fluctuating medium, as studied by Beck [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87 (2001) 180601]. By…
