Temperature in and out of equilibrium: A review of concepts, tools and attempts

A Puglisi, A Sarracino, A Vulpiani - Physics Reports, 2017 - Elsevier
We review the general aspects of the concept of temperature in equilibrium and non-
equilibrium statistical mechanics. Although temperature is an old and well-established …

Memory-induced transition from a persistent random walk to circular motion for achiral microswimmers

N Narinder, C Bechinger, JR Gomez-Solano - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
We experimentally study the motion of light-activated colloidal microswimmers in a
viscoelastic fluid. We find that, in such a non-Newtonian environment, the active colloids …

An update on the nonequilibrium linear response

M Baiesi, C Maes - New Journal of Physics, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
The unique fluctuation–dissipation theorem for equilibrium stands in contrast with the wide
variety of nonequilibrium linear response formulae. Their most traditional approach is' …

Nonequilibrium and information: The role of cross correlations

A Crisanti, A Puglisi, D Villamaina - … Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2012 - APS
We discuss the relevance of information contained in cross correlations among different
degrees of freedom, which is crucial in nonequilibrium systems. In particular we consider a …

[HTML][HTML] Fluctuation–dissipation relations in active matter systems

L Caprini, A Puglisi, A Sarracino - Symmetry, 2021 - mdpi.com
We investigate the non-equilibrium character of self-propelled particles through the study of
the linear response of the active Ornstein–Uhlenbeck particle (AOUP) model. We express …

Symmetries of generating functionals of Langevin processes with colored multiplicative noise

C Aron, G Biroli, LF Cugliandolo - Journal of Statistical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a comprehensive study of the symmetries of the generating functionals of
generic Langevin processes with multiplicative colored noise. We treat both Martin–Siggia …

Transient dynamics of a colloidal particle driven through a viscoelastic fluid

JR Gomez-Solano, C Bechinger - New Journal of Physics, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the transient motion of a colloidal particle actively dragged by an optical trap
through different viscoelastic fluids (wormlike micelles, polymer solutions, and entangled λ …

[HTML][HTML] Fluctuation–dissipation relations far from equilibrium: a case study

G Jung, F Schmid - Soft matter, 2021 - pubs.rsc.org
Fluctuation–dissipation relations or “theorems”(FDTs) are fundamental for statistical physics
and can be rigorously derived for equilibrium systems. Their applicability to non-equilibrium …

Two-temperature Langevin dynamics in a parabolic potential

V Dotsenko, A Maciołek, O Vasilyev, G Oshanin - Physical Review E …, 2013 - APS
We study a planar two-temperature diffusion of a Brownian particle in a parabolic potential.
The diffusion process is defined in terms of two Langevin equations with two different …

Engineered swift equilibration of a Brownian gyrator

A Baldassarri, A Puglisi, L Sesta - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
In the context of stochastic thermodynamics, a minimal model for nonequilibrium steady
states has been recently proposed: the Brownian gyrator (BG). It describes the stochastic …
