Brownian motion near soft surfaces is a situation widely encountered in nanoscale and biological physics. However, a complete theoretical description is lacking to date. Here, we theoretically investigate the dynamics of a two-dimensional…

We show that the three-dimensional map between fermions and bosons at finite temperature generalises for all odd dimensions $d>3$. We further argue that such a map has a nontrivial large $d$ limit. Evidence comes from studying the gap…

This paper provides information about the asymptotic behavior of a one-dimensional Brownian polymer in random medium represented by a Gaussian field $W$ on ${\mathbb{R}}_+\times{\mathbb{R}}$ which is white noise in time and function-valued…

It is known that a full description of Brownian motion in the entire course of time should incorporate both kinetic and hydrodynamic effects, but a formula accounts for both effects has been established only in three dimension and only for…

We derive the exact expression of the diffusion coefficient of a self-gravitating Brownian gas in two dimensions. Our formula generalizes the usual Einstein relation for a free Brownian motion to the context of two-dimensional gravity. We…

We show that the increments of the KPZ fixed point started from arbitrary initial data are \emph{mutually} absolutely continuous with respect to Brownian motion with diffusion parameter $2$ on compacts, extending the one-sided Brownian…

We derive the quantum thermodynamics of quantum Brownian motion from the exact solution of its reduced density matrix. We start from the total equilibrium thermal state between the Brownian particle and its reservoir, and solve analytically…

Let $B=(B^{(1)},B^{(2)})$ be a two-dimensional fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index $\alpha\in (0,1/4)$. Using an analytic approximation $B(\eta)$ of $B$ introduced in \cite{Unt08}, we prove that the rescaled L\'evy area process…

The classical Einstein-Langevin theory of Brownian motion assumes a memoryless thermal bath, establishing a universal fractal dimension of $d_v = 3/2$ for the velocity fluctuations of a particle. In this Letter, we demonstrate…

Overdamped Brownian motion of a self-propelled particle is studied by solving the Langevin equation analytically. On top of translational and rotational diffusion, in the context of the presented model, the "active" particle is driven along…
