We show that the Brownian motion on the complex full flag manifold can be represented by a matrix-valued diffusion obtained from the unitary Brownian motion. This representation actually leads to an explicit formula for the characteristic…

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…
Active particles self-propel themselves with a stochastically evolving velocity, generating a persistent motion leading to a non-diffusive behavior of the position distribution. Nevertheless, an effective diffusive behavior emerges at times…
We study deterministic dynamics of overactive Brownian particles in 2D and 3D potentials. This dynamics is Hamiltonian. Integrals of motion for continuous rotational symmetries are reported. The cases of 2D, axisymmetric and…
As a rough model for the collective motions of cells and organisms we develop here the statistical mechanics of swarms of self-propelled particles. Our approach is closely related to the recently developed theory of active Brownian motion…
