Run-and-tumble motion is an example of active motility where particles move at constant speed and change direction at random times. In this work we study run-and-tumble motion with diffusion in a harmonic potential in one dimension via a…

We derive a Doi-Peliti Field Theory for transiently chiral active particles in two dimensions, that is, active Brownian particles that undergo tumbles via a diffusing reorientation angle. Using this framework, we compute the mean squared…

We derive a Doi-Peliti field theory for free active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles, or, equivalently, free inertial Brownian particles, and present a way to diagonalise the Gaussian part of the action and calculate the propagator. Unlike…

The visit probability, quantifying whether a particle has reached a given point for the first time by a specified time, provides access to various extreme value statistics and serves as a fundamental tool for characterising active matter…

We analyze the entropy production in run-and-tumble models. After presenting the general formalism in the framework of the Fokker-Planck equations in one space dimension, we derive some known exact results in simple physical situations…

Active particles that translate chemical energy into self-propulsion can maintain a far-from-equilibrium steady state and perform work. The entropy production measures how far from equilibrium such a particle system operates and serves as a…

We present a field theoretic approach to capture the motion of a particle with dry friction for one- and two-dimensional diffusive particles, and further expand the framework for two-dimensional active Brownian particles. Starting with the…

The Active Brownian Particle (ABP) model exemplifies a wide class of active matter particles. In this work, we demonstrate how this model can be cast into a field theory in both two and three dimensions. Our aim is manifold: we wish both to…

We solve the problem of first-passage time for run-and-tumble particles in one dimension. Exact expression is derived for the mean first-passage time in the general case, considering external force-fields and chemotactic-fields, giving rise…

We study run and tumble particles on the one-dimensional lattice $\mathbb{Z}$. We explicitly compute the Fourier-Laplace transform of the position of the particle and as a consequence obtain explicit expressions for the diffusion constant…

We study the dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) appearing for a single Brownian particle without drift. We first explore how first-order DPTs in large deviations can be found even for a single Brownian particle without any force upon…

Renyi entropies S_q are useful measures of quantum entanglement; they can be calculated from traces of the reduced density matrix raised to power q, with q>=0. For (d+1)-dimensional conformal field theories, the Renyi entropies across…

We investigate the motion of a run-and-tumble particle (RTP) in one dimension. We find the exact probability distribution of the particle with and without diffusion on the infinite line, as well as in a finite interval. In the infinite…

We introduce and study a model in one dimension of $N$ run-and-tumble particles (RTP) which repel each other logarithmically in the presence of an external quadratic potential. This is an "active'' version of the well-known Dyson Brownian…
