Throughout physics Brownian dynamics are used to describe the behaviour of molecular systems. When the Brownian particle is confined to a bounded domain, a particularly important question arises around determining how long it takes the…

Dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) arise from qualitative changes in the long-time behavior of stochastic trajectories, often observed in systems with kinetic constraints or driven out of equilibrium. Here we demonstrate that first-order…

Active particles, which are self-propelled nonequilibrium systems, are modelled by overdamped Langevin equations with colored noise, emulating the self-propulsion. In this chapter, we present a review of the theoretical results for the…
