Condensation transition in the late-time position of a run-and-tumble particle

F Mori, P Le Doussal, SN Majumdar, G Schehr - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
We study the position distribution P (R ⃗, N) of a run-and-tumble particle (RTP) in arbitrary
dimension d, after N runs. We assume that the constant speed v> 0 of the particle during …

Landau theory for finite-time dynamical phase transitions

J Meibohm, M Esposito - New Journal of Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the time evolution of thermodynamic observables that characterise the dissipative
nature of thermal relaxation after an instantaneous temperature quench. Combining tools …

First-order condensation transition in the position distribution of a run-and-tumble particle in one dimension

F Mori, G Gradenigo, SN Majumdar - Journal of Statistical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider a single run-and-tumble particle (RTP) moving in one dimension. We assume
that the velocity of the particle is drawn independently at each tumbling from a zero-mean …

Finite-time dynamical phase transition in nonequilibrium relaxation

J Meibohm, M Esposito - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We uncover a finite-time dynamical phase transition in the thermal relaxation of a mean-field
magnetic model. The phase transition manifests itself as a cusp singularity in the probability …

Extreme-value statistics of stochastic transport processes

A Guillet, E Roldán, F Jülicher - New Journal of Physics, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We derive exact expressions for the finite-time statistics of extrema (maximum and minimum)
of the spatial displacement and the fluctuating entropy flow of biased random walks. Our …

Energetics of critical oscillators in active bacterial baths

A Gopal, É Roldán, S Ruffo - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the nonequilibrium energetics near a critical point of a non-linear oscillator
immersed in an active bacterial bath. At the critical point, we reveal a scaling exponent of the …

Active random walks in one and two dimensions

S Jose, D Mandal, M Barma, K Ramola - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
We investigate active lattice walks: biased continuous time random walks which perform
orientational diffusion between lattice directions in one and two spatial dimensions. We …

Understanding random-walk dynamical phase coexistence through waiting times

DC Stuhrmann, F Coghi - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
We study the appearance of first-order dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) as “intermittent”
coexisting phases in the fluctuations of random walks on graphs. We show that the diverging …

A comparison of dynamical fluctuations of biased diffusion and run-and-tumble dynamics in one dimension

E Mallmin, RA Blythe, MR Evans - Journal of Physics A …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We compare the fluctuations in the velocity and in the fraction of time spent at a given
position for minimal models of a passive and an active particle: an asymmetric random …

Persistent and anti-Persistent Motion in Bounded and Unbounded Space: Resolution of the First-Passage Problem

D Marris, L Giuggioli - arXiv preprint arXiv:2404.13360, 2024 - arxiv.org
The presence of temporal correlations in random movement trajectories is a widespread
phenomenon across biological, chemical and physical systems. The ubiquity of persistent …
