We consider two different models for colloidal particles. In the first model, we consider their free motion to be diffusion while in the second model we take it to be integrated Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. In both models, we derived…

We experimentally revisite the flow down an inclined plane of dense granular suspensions, with particles of sizes in the micron range, for which thermal fluctuations cannot be ignored. Using confocal microscopy on a miniaturized set-up, we…

The dynamical friction and diffusion coefficients are derived for a massive binary that moves against a uniform background of stars. The random impulses exerted on the binary's center of mass by the field stars are greater than those…

We investigate the fluctuation dynamics of a probe around a deterministic motion induced by interactions with driven particles. The latter constitute the nonequilibrium medium in which the probe is immersed and is modelled as overdamped…

A study of the non-dissipative Brownian motion in vacuum is presented. The noise source associated to the stochastic process assumed in this work is vacuum fluctuations of some quantum field capable of interact with a massive particle. For…

A new type of Coulomb gas is defined, consisting of arbitrary numbers of point charges of two species executing Brownian motions under the influence of their mutual electrostatic repulsion. Being a generalization of a model of identical…

At fast timescales, the self-similarity of random Brownian motion is expected to break down and be replaced by ballistic motion. So far, an experimental verification of this prediction has been out of reach due to a lack of instrumentation…

This study numerically and analytically investigates the dynamics of a rotor under viscous or dry friction as a non-equilibrium probe of a granular gas. In order to demonstrate the role of the rotor as a probe for a non-equilibrium bath,…

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 address the problem of the so-called ``granular gases'', i.e. gases of massive particles in rapid movement undergoing inelastic collisions. We introduce a class of models of driven granular gases for which the stationary state is the…
