Molecular chaos in dense active systems

Lu Chen, Kyle J. Welch, Premkumar Leishangthem +7

The hypothesis of molecular chaos plays the central role in kinetic theory, which provides a closure leading to the Boltzmann equation for quantitative description of classic fluid…

Strong Coupling Thermodynamics and Stochastic Thermodynamics from the Unifying Perspective of Time-Scale Separation

Mingnan Ding, Zhanchun Tu, Xiangjun Xing

Assuming time-scale separation, a simple and unified theory of thermodynamics and stochastic thermodynamics is constructed for small classical systems strongly interacting with its…

Covariant Formulation of Non-linear Langevin Theory with Multiplicative Gaussian White Noises

Mingnan Ding, Zhanchun Tu, Xiangjun Xing

The multi-dimensional non-linear Langevin equation with multiplicative Gaussian white noises in Ito's sense is made covariant with respect to non-linear transform of variables. The…

Dynamics of active nematic defects on the surface of a sphere

Yi-Heng Zhang, Markus Deserno, Zhan-Chun Tu

A nematic liquid crystal confined to the surface of a sphere exhibits topological defects of total charge due to the topological constraint. In equilibrium, the nematic field…
