The force on a probe induced by a nonequilibrium medium is in general nongradient. We detail the mechanism of that feature via nonequilibrium response theory. The emergence of nongradient forces is due to a systematic "twist" of the excess…

We study a passive probe immersed in a fluid of active particles. Despite the system's non-equilibrium nature, the trajectory of the probe does not exhibit non-equilibrium signatures: its velocity distribution remains Gaussian, the second…
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…
Can activity be transmitted from smaller to larger scales? We report on such a transfer from a homogeneous active medium to a Newtonian spherical probe. The active medium consists of faster and dilute self-propelled particles, modeled as…
