We study the single-file dynamics of three classes of active particles: run-and-tumble particles, active Brownian particles and active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles. At high activity values, the particles, interacting via purely repulsive…

We investigate the self-propulsion of an inertial active particle confined in a two-dimensional harmonic trap. The particle is suspended in a non-Newtonian or viscoelastic suspension with a friction kernel that decays exponentially with a…

We study the statistics, in stationary conditions, of the work $W_\tau$ done by the active force in different systems of self-propelled particles in a time $\tau$. We show the existence of a critical value $W_\tau ^\dag$ such that…

We develop a microscopic theory of disorder-induced localization for a quantum particle moving in a fully ionized classical one-component plasma, within the static-fluctuation approximation. The random potential acting on the particle…

Even in a simple stochastic process, the study of the full distribution of time integrated observables can be a difficult task. This is the case of a much-studied process such as the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process where, recently, anomalous…

Eigenstates of a particle in a localized and unconfined harmonic potential well are investigated. Effects due to the variation of the potential parameters as well as certain results from asymptotic expansions are discussed.

We study the density fluctuations at equilibrium of the multi-species stirring process, a natural multi-type generalization of the symmetric (partial) exclusion process. In the diffusive scaling limit, the resulting process is a system of…

We analyze a dilute suspension of active particles confined between walls and subjected to fields that can modulate particle speed as well as orientation. Generally, the particle distribution is different in the bulk compared to near the…
