We study the large deviations of the power injected by the active force for an Active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Particle (AOUP), free or in a confining potential. For the free-particle case, we compute the rate function analytically in…
Active matter encompasses systems whose individual consituents dissipate energy to exert propelling forces on their environment. This rapidly developing field harbors a dynamical phenomenology with no counterpart in passive systems. The…
Active systems evade the rules of equilibrium thermodynamics by constantly dissipating energy at the level of their microscopic components. This energy flux stems from the conversion of a fuel, present in the environment, into sustained…

Collections of self-propelled particles that move persistently by continuously consuming free energy are a paradigmatic example of active matter. In these systems, unlike Brownian "hot colloids", the breakdown of detailed balance yields a…
Self-propelled active matter can exhibit vastly different behavior than systems with purely Brownian motion. In Eur. Phys. J. E 40, 23 (2017), Zeitz, Wolf, and Stark compared an active matter particle with a Brownian particle moving in a…
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…
Brownian motion is modelled by a harmonic oscillator (Brownian particle) interacting with a continuous set of uncoupled harmonic oscillators. The interaction is linear in the coordinates and the momenta. The model has an analytical solution…
The $d$-dimensional Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process (OUP) describes the trajectory of a particle in a $d$-dimensional, spherically symmetric, quadratic potential. The OUP is composed of a drift term weighted by a constant $\theta \geq 0$ and a…
Active Brownian motion commonly assumes spherical overdamped particles. However, self-propelled particles are often neither symmetric nor overdamped yet underlie random fluctuations from their surroundings. Active Brownian motion has…
