Nonequilibrium nucleation theory for nonconserved fields: from active matter to population dynamics
Michalis Chatzittofi, Noah Ziethen, Cesare Nardini +1
Classical nucleation theory (CNT) describes the formation of a stable phase from a metastable one. In equilibrium systems, it quantifies the free-energy competition between a favor…
Generic nonlocal statistics of the stationary measure in conserved active systems
Filippo De Luca, Michael E. Cates, Cesare Nardini
The stationary measure of equilibrium systems with detailed balance follows a Boltzmann distribution, so that for short-ranged interactions the measure is local, meaning that dista…
Spontaneous Ratchet Currents and Transition Dynamics in Active Wetting
Noah Grodzinski, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates
Self-propelled particles accumulate on repulsive barriers in so-called active wetting, whose relationship with equilibrium wetting remains unclear. Using an exact (noiseless) hydro…
Hydrodynamic theory of wetting by active particles
Noah Grodzinski, Michael E. Cates, Robert L. Jack
The accumulation of self-propelled particles on repulsive barriers is a widely observed feature in active matter. Despite being implicated in a broad range of biological processes,…
Nonreciprocal dynamics with weak noise: aperiodic "Escher cycles" and their quasipotential landscape
Janik Schüttler, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates
We present an explicit construction of the Freidlin-Wentzell quasipotential of a stochastic system with two degrees of freedom and nonreciprocal interactions. This model undergoes…
Active particles in moving traps: minimum work protocols and information efficiency of work extraction
Janik Schüttler, Rosalba Garcia-Millan, Michael E. Cates +1
We revisit the elementary problem of moving a particle in a harmonic trap in finite time with minimal work cost, and extend it to the case of an active particle. By comparing the G…
