Reciprocal Cost on the Positive Rationals
Jonathan Washburn, Sebastian Pardo-Guerra, Milan Zlatanović
We study nonnegative solutions of the reciprocal cost law on the positive rationals and determine which of them admit regular extensions to the positive reals. Using the substituti…
Free chiral self-propelled robots compared to active Brownian circle swimmers
Thomas Kiechl, Amy Altshuler, Anton Lüders +2
Macroscopic active matter systems, such as bristle bots, provide a compelling platform for investigating nonequilibrium dynamics at highly visible scales. To fully leverage their a…
Fundamental problems in Statistical Physics XIV: Lecture on Correlation and response functions in statistical physics
Thomas Franosch
In the first part of these short lecture notes, we will present an introduction on (auto-)correlation functions and linear-response functions in the language of a physicist. In par…
When velocity autocorrelations mirror force autocorrelations: Exact noise-cancellation in interacting Brownian systems
Anton Lüders, Suvendu Mandal, Thomas Franosch
Resolving the mean-squared displacement (MSD) and velocity autocorrelation function (VACF) of interacting Brownian particles remains a central challenge in simulations of soft-matt…
Glass transition in colloidal monolayers controlled by light-induced caging
Abolfazl Ahmadirahmat, Michele Caraglio, Vincent Krakoviack +1
We theoretically investigate the glass-transition problem for a quasi-two-dimensional colloidal dense suspension modulated by a one-dimensional periodic external potential as impos…
Mode-coupling theory of the glass transition for a liquid in a periodic potential
Abolfazl Ahmadirahmat, Michele Caraglio, Vincent Krakoviack +1
We derive a microscopic theory for the structural dynamics in the vicinity of the glass transition for a liquid exposed to a one-dimensional periodic potential. The periodic potent…
