However, the usual assumption of white noise becomes untenable when the system is subject to an external ac electric field. This is because the charged particles in the system, which provide the thermal bath for the particle transport, become themselves responsive to the ac field and the thermal noise is field dependent and non-Markovian. We theoretically study the particle diffusivity in a Langevin transport model for a tagged charged particle immersed in a dense system of charged particles (plus also, possibly, other neutral particles) that act as the thermal bath, under an external ac electric field. This is done by properly accounting for the effects of the ac field on the thermal bath statistics. We analytically derive the time-dependent generalized diffusivity D(t) for different initial conditions. The generalized diffusivity exhibits damped oscillatory-like behavior with initial very large peaks, where the generalized diffusion coefficient is enhanced by orders of magnitude with respect to the infinite-time steady-state value. The latter coincides with the Stokes-Einstein diffusivity in the absence of an external field. For initial conditions where the external field is already on at t=0 and the system is thermalized under dc conditions for t≤0, the short-time behavior is hyperballistic, MSD∼t^{4} (where MSD is the mean-squared displacement), leading to giant enhancement of the particle transport. Finally, the theory elucidates the role of medium polarization on the local Lorentz field, and allows for estimates of the effective electric charge due to polarization by the surrounding charges.</p>","PeriodicalId":20085,"journal":{"name":"Physical review.

By implementing a symmetric CPG with respect to the transverse plane, motor activation waves are inhibited, preventing the emergence of undulatory swimming and resulting in an oscillatory gait. We show experimentally that the swimmer can recover from the traveling wave inhibition by using distributed fluid force feedback to modulate the phase dynamics of each oscillator. This transition from oscillatory to undulating swimming is characterized by a symmetry breaking in the CPG and the body dynamics. By studying the stability of the oscillator chain, we show that the sensory feedback produces a frequency detuning gradient along the CPG chain while preserving its stability. To explain the origin of the instability, we introduce a toy model where the couplings between the dynamics of the oscillators and the body deformation reinforce the symmetry breaking.</p>","PeriodicalId":20085,"journal":{"name":"Physical review.

In this study, we use a simple model system where a small amount of polymerizable liquid crystalline monomer is mixed in a liquid crystal that exhibits both a smectic phase and a cholesteric phase with a large helical pitch. By cross-linking the monomer in the smectic phase, the liquid crystal textures become significantly altered. The existence of a polymer network not only creates resistance to form a helix and therefore hinders the formation of cholesteric fingerprints but also modifies the structure of the cholesteric texture. We investigate the effects of changing the concentration of chiral dopant and monomer on the formation and growth of the cholesteric fingerprint texture during the phase transition and on the width of the fingerprints. We find that, within a certain parameter range, the cholesteric fingerprints do not depend on the concentration of the chiral dopant.

In the case of heterogeneous networks, we demonstrate that the spectral density becomes more symmetric as the fluctuations in the triangle-degree sequence increase. This phenomenon is explained by the small clustering coefficient of networks with a large variance of the triangle-degree distribution. In the homogeneous case of regular clustered networks, we find that both perturbative and nonperturbative approximations fail to predict the spectral density in the high-connectivity limit.

Well known are the \"leading eight\" from L1 to L8, the eight norms for assessment and action to foster cooperation in social dilemmas while resisting the invasion of mutant norms prescribing alternative actions. In this work, we begin by showing that balance is equivalent to stationarity of dynamics only for L4 and L6 (stern judging) among the leading eight. Stern judging reflects an intuitive idea that good merits reward, whereas evil warrants punishment. By analyzing the dynamics of stern judging in complete graphs, we prove that this norm almost always segregates the graph into two mutually hostile groups as the graph size grows. We then compare L4 with stern judging: The only difference of L4 is that a good player's cooperative action toward a bad one is regarded as good. This subtle difference transforms large populations governed by L4 to a \"paradise\" where cooperation prevails and positive assessments abound. Our study thus helps us understand the relationship between individual norms and their emergent consequences at a population level, shedding light on the nuanced interplay between cognitive consistency and segregation dynamics.</p>","PeriodicalId":20085,"journal":{"name":"Physical review.

The efficiency of this strategy depends on the type of environmental noise, whether it is thermal or telegraphic (active). While the impact of each noise type on a search process has been investigated separately, their combined effects have not been explored. In this work, we explore the effects of stochastic resetting on an active system, namely a self-propelled run-and-tumble particle immersed in a thermal bath. In particular, we assume that the position of the particle is reset at a fixed rate with or without reversing the direction of self-propelled velocity. Using standard renewal techniques, we compute the mean search time of this active particle to a fixed target and investigate the interplay between active and thermal fluctuations. We find that the active search can outperform the Brownian search when the magnitude and flipping rate of self-propelled velocity are large and the strength of environmental noise is small. Notably, we find that the presence of thermal noise in the environment helps reduce the mean first passage time of the run-and-tumble particle compared to the absence of thermal noise. Finally, we observe that reversing the direction of self-propelled velocity while resetting can also reduce the overall search time.</p>","PeriodicalId":20085,"journal":{"name":"Physical review.

The network uses a specialized geometric abstraction layer to convert the relative coordinates of the rigid bodies to input more suitable to a conventional artificial neural network, which is trained together with the specialized layer. This results in geometric representations of the particles optimized for the specific potential. The network can be trained directly on scalar values to fit a model without explicit gradient and then used to efficiently evaluate the force and torque on the particles resulting from the potential. The concept is demonstrated with an atomistic interaction model for carbon nanotubes and the resulting model is compared with a common type of coarse-grained model optimized for the same potential, with even very small networks comparing favourably and larger networks achieving up to two orders of magnitude lower cost. The sensitivity to noise in the training data is investigated and the model is found to strongly reject noise up to 12.5% given a dataset of 10^{7} samples. The performance of a proof-of-concept implementation is demonstrated on a variety of hardware, showing the models viability for large-scale simulations.
