The emergence of diffusion is one of the deepest physical phenomena observed in many-body interacting, chaotic systems. But establishing rigorously that correlation functions, say of the spin, expand diffusively, remains one of the most…

We have studied the correlated Brownian motion of micron-sized particles suspended in water and confined between two plates. The hydrodynamic interaction between the particles exhibits three anomalies. (i) The transverse coupling is…

We have investigated kinematic reversibility in a cold atom system under strongly overdamped conditions. In such systems, inertia is negligible, and for noninteracting rigid particles, inverting the external force causes a perfect reversal…

We study an inertial chiral active fluid, formed by repulsive particles that transfer angular momentum through odd interactions, i.e. transverse forces. Chirality induces an inhomogeneous phase, consisting of rotating bubbles, whose…

We investigate the statistical properties of fluctuations in active systems that are governed by non-symmetric responses. Both an underdamped Langevin system with an odd resistance tensor and an overdamped Langevin system with an odd…

Flows with deformable interfaces are commonly controlled by applying an external field or modifying the boundaries that interact with the fluid, but realizing such solutions can be demanding or impractical in various scenarios. Here, we…

When the time-reversal and parity symmetries in a fluid are broken, transverse transport coefficients can arise in response to perturbations, an example being odd viscosity. We refer to these systems as odd fluids. While much progress has…

Can a bath of isotropic but active particles promote ordering of anisotropic but passive particles? In this paper, we uncover a fluctuation-driven mechanism by which this is possible. Somewhat counter-intuitively, we show that the passive…

We consider an inertial active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particle in an athermal bath. The particle is charged, constrained to move in a two-dimensional harmonic trap, and a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plane of motion. The…

A compact object moving relative to surrounding gas accretes material and perturbs the density of gas in its vicinity. In the classical picture of Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion, the perturbation takes the form of an overdense wake behind…

Autonomous and driven transport in chiral active fluids have been shown to exhibit features that cannot be accommodated within the classical formulation of fluid mechanics, due to the role of odd viscosity. We generalize the theory of…
