Colloidal Hard Spheres: Triumphs, Challenges and Mysteries
C. Patrick Royall, Patrick Charbonneau, Marjolein Dijkstra +4
The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static an…
Perturbative dynamic renormalization of scalar field theories in statistical physics
Nikos Papanikolaou, Thomas Speck
Renormalization is a powerful technique in statistical physics to extract the large-scale behavior of interacting many-body models. These notes aim to give an introduction to pertu…
Effective dynamics and fluctuations of a trapped probe moving in a fluid of active hard discs
Ashreya Jayaram, Thomas Speck
We study the dynamics of a single trapped probe surrounded by self-propelled active particles in two dimensions. In the limit of large size separation, we perform an adiabatic elim…
