Effective Dynamics of Tracer in Active Bath: A Mean-field Theory Study
arXiv:2110.00279
Abstract
We develop a theoretical framework to study the effective dynamics of a tracer immersed in a nonequilibrium bath consisting of active particles. By using a mean-field approximation and extending the linearized Dean equation to nonequilibrium environment, we derive a generalized Langevin equation for the tracer particle, wherein colored noise terms and a memory kernel reflect the roles of interactions between tracer and bath particles as well as activity of the bath. In particular, we obtain a self-consistent equation to calculate the long time diffusion coefficient and mobility of tracer, finding that they both increase non-linearly with bath activity, in good consistents with direct simulation results.
