General criterion for harmonicity

Karel Proesmans, Hans Vandebroek, Christian Van den Broeck

Inspired by Kubo-Anderson Markov processes, we introduce a new class of transfer matrices whose largest eigenvalue is determined by a simple explicit algebraic equation. Applicatio…

The effect of active fluctuations on the dynamics of particles, motors and hairpins

Hans Vandebroek, Carlo Vanderzande

Inspired by recent experiments on the dynamics of particles and polymers in artificial cytoskeletons and in cells, we introduce a modified Langevin equation for a particle in an en…

On the generalized Langevin equation for a Rouse bead in a nonequilibrium bath

Hans Vandebroek, Carlo Vanderzande

We present the reduced dynamics of a bead in a Rouse chain which is submerged in a bath containing a driving agent that renders it out-of-equilibrium. We first review the generaliz…

Dynamics of a polymer in an active and crowded environment

Hans Vandebroek, Carlo Vanderzande

We study the dynamics of an ideal polymer chain in a crowded, viscoelastic medium and in the presence of active forces. The motion of the centre of mass and of individual monomers…

Transient behaviour of a polymer dragged through a viscoelastic medium

Hans Vandebroek, Carlo Vanderzande

We study the dynamics of a polymer that is pulled by a constant force through a viscoelastic medium. This is a model for a polymer being pulled through a cell by an external force,…
