We show that when Brownian motion takes place in a heterogeneous medium, the presence of local forces and transport coefficients leads to deviations from a Gaussian probability distribution that make that the ratio between forward and…
The density distribution function of the integral of the exponential Brownian motion is determined explicitly in the form of a rapidly convergent series.
A fundamental result in the theory of Brownian motion is the Einstein-Sutherland relation between mobility and diffusion constant. Any classical linear response transport coefficient obeys a similar Einstein-Helfand relation. We show in…

An extension of the stochastic quantization scheme is proposed by adding nonlinear terms to the field equations. Our modification is motivated by the recently established theory of active Brownian motion. We discuss a way of promoting this…
We demonstrate experimentally that a Brownian particle is subject to inertial effects at long time scales. By using a blinking optical tweezers, we extend the range of previous experiments by several orders of magnitude up to a few seconds.…

In active Brownian motion, an internal propulsion mechanism interacts with translational and rotational thermal noise and other internal fluctuations to produce directed motion. We derive the distribution of its extreme fluctuations and…

We give an exact solution to the generalized Langevin equation of motion of a charged Brownian particle in a uniform magnetic field that is driven internally by an exponentially-correlated stochastic force. A strong dissipation regime is…
We consider the velocity distribution for a granular gas of inelastic hard spheres described by the Boltzmann equation. We investigate both the free of forcing case and a system heated by a stochastic force. We propose a new method to…
We make it precise what it means to have a connection with torsion as solution of the Einstein equations. While locally the theory remains the same, the new formulation allows for topologies that would have been excluded in the standard…
One of the cornerstones of turbulent dispersion is the celebrated Taylor formula. This formula expresses the rate of transport (i.e. the eddy diffusivity) of a tracer as a time integral of the fluid velocity auto-correlation function…
In this paper we extend the homogenization results obtained in (G. Allaire, A. Mikeli\'c, A. Piatnitski, J. Math. Phys. 51 (2010), 123103) for a system of partial differential equations describing the transport of a N-component electrolyte…
