We propose a model of sub-diffusion in which an external force is acting on a particle at all times not only at the moment of jump. The implication of this assumption is the dependence of the random trapping time on the force with the…

We study the simplest terms that need to be included in active field theories to couple them to external potentials. To do so, we consider active Brownian particles and implement a systematic perturbative expansion in the particle…

The exact formulae for spectra of equilibrium diffusion in a fixed bistable piecewise linear potential and in a randomly flipping monostable potential are derived. Our results are valid for arbitrary intensity of driving white Gaussian…

We prove a central limit theorem for the momentum distribution of a particle undergoing an unbiased spatially periodic random forcing at exponentially distributed times without friction. The start is a linear Boltzmann equation for the…

We investigate the equilibrium properties of a quantum Brownian particle moving in a periodic potential, specifically addressing the nature of the dissipation-driven Schmid transition in the Ohmic regime. By employing World-Line Monte Carlo…

We study the behaviour of a Brownian particle in the overdamped regime in the presence of a harmonic potential, assuming its diffusion coefficient to randomly jump between two distinct values. In particular, we characterize the probability…

We consider certain one dimensional ordinary stochastic differential equations driven by additive Brownian motion of variance $\varepsilon ^2$. When $\varepsilon =0$ such equations have an unstable non-hyperbolic fixed point and the drift…

We show that in the framework of one-dimensional Bohmian Quantum Mechanics[1], for a particle subject to a potential undergoing a weak adiabatic change, the time averages of the particle's positions typically differ markedly from the…

Formulas are derived for the coupled quadrupolar and monopolar oscillations of a fermion condensate trapped in a axially symmetric harmonic potential. We consider two-component condensates with a large particle-particle scattering length…

We study the diffusive motion of a particle in a subharmonic potential of the form $U(x)=|x|^c$ ($0<c<2$) driven by long-range correlated, stationary fractional Gaussian noise $\xi_{\alpha}(t)$ with $0<\alpha\le2$. In the absence of the…

Resonant activation is an effect of a noise-induced escape over a modulated potential barrier. The modulation of a energy landscape facilitates the escape kinetics and makes it optimal as measured by the mean first passage time. A canonical…
