Time irreversibility in active matter, from micro to macro
Active matter encompasses systems whose individual constituents dissipate energy to exert
propelling forces on their environment. These systems exhibit dynamical phenomena with …

Statistical mechanics of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles
We study the statistical properties of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles (AOUPs). In this
simplest of models, the Gaussian white noise of overdamped Brownian colloids is replaced …

Flocking without alignment interactions in attractive active brownian particles
Within a simple model of attractive active Brownian particles, we predict flocking behavior
and challenge the widespread idea that alignment interactions are necessary to observe this …

Inertial self-propelled particles
We study how inertia affects the behavior of self-propelled particles moving through a
viscous solvent by employing the underdamped version of the active Ornstein–Uhlenbeck …

Colloquium: Inclusions, boundaries, and disorder in scalar active matter
Active systems are driven out of equilibrium by exchanging energy and momentum with their
environment. This endows them with anomalous mechanical properties that are reviewed in …

Glassy dynamics in dense systems of active particles
Despite the diversity of materials designated as active matter, virtually all active systems
undergo a form of dynamic arrest when crowding and activity compete, reminiscent of the …

Active Ornstein–Uhlenbeck model for self-propelled particles with inertia
Self-propelled particles, which convert energy into mechanical motion, exhibit inertia if they
have a macroscopic size or move inside a gaseous medium, in contrast to micron-sized …

Role of rotational inertia for collective phenomena in active matter
We investigate the effect of rotational inertia on the collective phenomena of underdamped
active systems and show that the increase of the moment of inertia of each particle favors …

Active particles under confinement and effective force generation among surfaces
We consider the effect of geometric confinement on the steady-state properties of a one-
dimensional active suspension subject to thermal noise. The random active force is modeled …
