Effective interactions inherently encompass many-body effects that appear unified. Analyzing these in reverse, that is, separating them into contributions from pairs, triples, or larger groups, is typically intricate and seldom pursued.…

A many-body wave function is approximated by a product of two functions: the wave function $\phi$ depending on the particle coordinates and the function $\chi$ depending only on the value of interparticle interaction potential. For the…

We introduce a general physical formulation that allows one to obtain uniquely the effectiveinteractions by contracting the bare forces, even in highly concentrated systems. We tested it bystudying depletion forces in two-dimensional binary…

This paper builds on two previous works, Lindgren et al. J. Comp. Phys. 371, 712-731 (2018) and Quan et al. arXiv:1807.05384 (2018), to devise a new method to solve the problem of calculating electrostatic interactions in a system composed…

Electrostatic forces between small groups of colloidal particles are measured using blinking optical tweezers. When the electrostatic screening length is significantly larger than the particle radius, forces are found to be non-pairwise…

We study the effective forces acting between colloidal particles trapped at a fluid interface which itself is exposed to a pressure field. To this end we apply what we call the ``force approach'', which relies solely on the condition of…

It is well known that acoustic fields can produce forces on single particles, however they can also induce inter-particle forces due to multiple scattering events. This multi-particle force -- here referred to as acoustic binding -- is…

Large-scale collective behavior in suspensions of many particles can be understood from the balance of statistical forces emerging beyond the direct microscopic particle interactions. Here we review some aspects of the collective forces…

The motion of a system of particles under electromagnetic interaction is considered. Under the assumption that the force acting on an electric charge is given by the sum of the electromagnetic fields produced by any other charged particles…

Two definitions of the effective mass of a particle interacting with a quantum field, such as a polaron, are considered and shown to be equal in models similar to the Froehlich polaron model. These are: 1. the mass defined by the low…
