Active Brownian particles: From individual to collective stochastic dynamics

P Romanczuk, M Bär, W Ebeling, B Lindner… - The European Physical …, 2012 - Springer
We review theoretical models of individual motility as well as collective dynamics and
pattern formation of active particles. We focus on simple models of active dynamics with a …

Lévy walks

V Zaburdaev, S Denisov, J Klafter - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2015 - APS
Random walk is a fundamental concept with applications ranging from quantum physics to
econometrics. Remarkably, one specific model of random walks appears to be ubiquitous …

Heavy-quark diffusion in the quark–gluon plasma

M He, H van Hees, R Rapp - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2023 - Elsevier
The diffusion of heavy quarks through the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) as produced in high-
energy heavy-ion collisions has long been recognized as an excellent probe of its transport …

Relativistic hydrodynamic fluctuations from an effective action: Causality, stability, and the information current

N Mullins, M Hippert, L Gavassino, J Noronha - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Causality is necessary for retarded Green's functions to remain retarded in all inertial frames
in relativity, which ensures that dissipation of fluctuations is a Lorentz invariant concept. For …

Heavy-quark diffusion and hadronization in quark-gluon plasma

M He, RJ Fries, R Rapp - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2012 - APS
We calculate diffusion and hadronization of heavy quarks in high-energy heavy-ion
collisions, implementing the notion of a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma in both micro …

Meson as a Quantitative Probe of Diffusion and Hadronization in Nuclear Collisions

M He, RJ Fries, R Rapp - Physical Review Letters, 2013 - APS
The modifications of D s-meson spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions are identified
as a quantitative probe of key properties of the hot nuclear medium. The unique valence …

Stochastic fluctuations in relativistic fluids: Causality, stability, and the information current

N Mullins, M Hippert, J Noronha - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We develop a general formalism for introducing stochastic fluctuations around
thermodynamic equilibrium which takes into account, for the first time, recent developments …

Ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order in bacterial vortex lattices

H Wioland, FG Woodhouse, J Dunkel, RE Goldstein - Nature physics, 2016 - nature.com
Despite their inherently non-equilibrium nature, living systems can self-organize in highly
ordered collective states, that share striking similarities with the thermodynamic equilibrium …

Hot brownian motion

D Rings, R Schachoff, M Selmke, F Cichos, K Kroy - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We derive the Markovian description for the nonequilibrium Brownian motion of a heated
nanoparticle in a simple solvent with a temperature-dependent viscosity. Our analytical …

Spectral methods in chemistry and physics

B Shizgal - Scientific Computation. Springer, 2015 - Springer
Spectral and pseudospectral methods have become increasingly popular as higher order
methods for the solution of partial differential and integral equations (Azaïez et al. 2013). A …
