Noether's Theorem in Statistical Mechanics

Sophie Hermann, Matthias Schmidt

Noether's calculus of invariant variations yields exact identities from functional symmetries. The standard application to an action integral allows to identify conservation laws.…

Phase separation of active Brownian particles in two dimensions: Anything for a quiet life

Sophie Hermann, Daniel de las Heras, Matthias Schmidt

Active Brownian particles display self-propelled movement, which can be modelled as arising from a one-body force. Although their interparticle interactions are purely repulsive, f…

Active interface polarization is a state function

Sophie Hermann, Matthias Schmidt

We prove three exact sum rules that relate the polarization of active Brownian particles to their one-body current: (i) The total polarization vanishes, provided that there is no n…

Non-negative Interfacial Tension in Phase-Separated Active Brownian Particles

Sophie Hermann, Daniel de las Heras, Matthias Schmidt

We present a microscopic theory for the nonequilibrium interfacial tension of the free interface between gas and liquid phases of active Brownian particles. The underl…

Phase coexistence of active Brownian particles

Sophie Hermann, Philip Krinninger, Daniel de las Heras +1

We investigate motility-induced phase separation of active Brownian particles, which are modeled as purely repulsive spheres that move due to a constant swim force with freely diff…
