The active Brownian particle (ABP) model describes a swimmer, synthetic or living, whose direction of swimming is a Brownian motion. The swimming is due to a propulsion force, and the fluctuations are typically thermal in origin. We present…

We study the fluctuations of the area $A=\int_0^T x(t) dt$ under a one-dimensional Brownian motion $x(t)$ in a trapping potential $\sim |x|$, at long times $T\to\infty$. We find that typical fluctuations of $A$ follow a Gaussian…
