Projection of strong coupling interaction with thermal bath in a polymer
arXiv:2106.12878 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.105.014501
Abstract
We investigate modifications of a stochastic polymer picture through a shift in the boundary between the system and an external environment. A conventional bead-and-spring model serving as the coarse-graining model is given by the Langevin equation for all the monomers subject to white noise. However, stochastic motion for only a tagged monomer is observed to occur in the presence of colored noise. The qualitative change in the observations arises from the boundary shift decided by the observer. The Langevin dynamics analyses interpret the colored noise as the emergence of the polymeric elastic force, resulting in additional heat in the tagged monomer observation. Being distinguished from coarse-graining based on scale separation, the projection of comparable internal degrees of freedom is also discussed in light of the fluctuation theorem and the stochastic polymer thermodynamics.
