Single-file diffusion refers to the motion in narrow channels of particles which cannot bypass each other. These strong correlations between particles lead to tracer subdiffusion, which has been observed in contexts as varied as transport…

When the motion of a probe strongly disturbs the thermal equilibrium of the solvent or bath, the nonlinear response of the latter must enter the probe's effective evolution equation. We derive that induced stochastic dynamics using second…
