We derive hydrodynamics of a prototypical one dimensional model, having variable-range hopping, which mimics passive diffusion and ballistic motion of active, or self-propelled, particles. The model has two main ingredients - the hardcore interaction and the competing mechanisms of short and long range hopping. We calculate two density-dependent transport coefficients - the bulk-diffusion coefficient and the conductivity, the ratio of which, despite violation of detailed balance, is connected to number fluctuation by an Einstein relation. In the limit of infinite range hopping, the model exhibits, upon tuning density $rho$ (or activity), a superfluid transition from a finitely conducting state to an infinitely conducting one, characterized by a divergence in conductivity $chi(rho) sim (rho-rho_c)^{-1}$ with $rho_c$ being the critical density. The diverging conductivity greatly increases particle (or vacancy) mobility and induces giant number fluctuations in the system.
We study the large deviations of the distribution P(W_tau) of the work associated with the propulsion of individual active brownian particles in a time interval tau, in the region of the phase diagram where macroscopic phase separation takes place. P
Run-and-tumble dynamics is a wide-spread mechanism of swimming bacteria. The accumulation of run-and-tumble microswimmers near impermeable surfaces is studied theoretically and numerically in the low-density limit in two and three spatial dimensions.
We study the behaviour of interacting self-propelled particles, whose self-propulsion speed decreases with their local density. By combining direct simulations of the microscopic model with an analysis of the hydrodynamic equations obtained by explic
We study coarse-grained density fluctuations in the disordered phase of the paradigmatic Vicsek-like models of self-propelled particles with alignment interactions and random self-propulsion velocities. By numerically integrating a fluctuation-respon
Active diffusiophoresis - swimming through interaction with a self-generated, neutral, solute gradient - is a paradigm for autonomous motion at the micrometer scale. We study this propulsion mechanism within a linear response theory. Firstly, we cons
