We investigate the behaviour of a chain of interacting Brownian particles with one end fixed and the other moving away at slow speed, in the limit of small noise. The interaction between particles is through a pairwise potential with finite…
Owing to the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation for Markovian dynamics,any equilibrium trajectory of a Brownian particle in a solvent fluid can be viewed as the superposition of an uncountable number of non-equilibrium states. This property…

When an ensemble of particles interact hydrodynamically, they generically display large-scale transient structures such as swirls in sedimenting particles [1], or colloidal strings in sheared suspensions [2]. Understanding these…
Anomalous diffusion is an established phenomenon but still a theoretical challenge in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Physical models are built incrementally, and the most recent and most general family is based on the fractional…
We investigate the overdamped dynamics of a `passive' particle driven by nonreciprocal interaction with a `driver' Brownian particle. When the interaction between them is short-ranged, the long-time behavior of the driven particle is…
We review and complete the existing literature on the kinetic theory of spatially homogeneous systems with long-range interactions taking collective effects into account. The evolution of the system as a whole is described by the…

Brownian dynamics algorithms integrate numerically Langevin equations and allow to probe long time scales in simulations. A common requirement for such algorithms is that interactions in the system should vary little during an integration…
We propose a novel approach in the study of transport phenomena in dense systems or systems with long range interactions where multiple particle interactions must be taken into consideration. Within Boltzmann's kinetic formalism, we study…
We study a model of mass-bearing coagulating planar Brownian particles. Coagulation is prone to occur when two particles become within a distance of order $\epsilon$. We assume that the initial number of particles is of the order of $| \log…
In this paper we continue the study of the derivation of different types of kinetic equations which arise from scaling limits of interacting particle systems. We began this study in \cite{NVW}. More precisely, we consider the derivation of…
A wide range of phenomena in the natural and social sciences involve large systems of interacting particles, including plasmas, collections of galaxies, coupled oscillators, cell aggregations, and economic ``agents'. Kinetic methods for…
We develop the analogy between self-gravitating Brownian particles and bacterial populations. In the high friction limit, the self-gravitating Brownian gas is described by the Smoluchowski-Poisson system. These equations can develop a…
We study the thermodynamical properties of a self-gravitating gas with two or more types of particles. Using the method of linear series of equilibria, we determine the structure and stability of statistical equilibrium states in both…
We consider a two-dimensional model system of Brownian particles in which slow particles are accelerated while fast particles are damped. The motion of the individual particles are described by a Langevin equation with Rayleigh-Helmholtz…
We present a theory for the steady-state dynamics of a two-dimensional system of spherically symmetric active Brownian particles. The derivation of the theory consists of two steps. First, we integrate out the self-propulsions and obtain a…
We study systems of Brownian particles on the real line, which interact by splitting the local times of collisions among themselves in an asymmetric manner. We prove the strong existence and uniqueness of such processes and identify them…
An important question in the field of active matter is whether or not it is possible to predict the phase behavior of these systems. Here, we study the phase coexistence of binary mixtures of torque-free active Brownian particles, for both…
