Diffusion of an Active Particle Bound to a Generalized Elastic Model: Fractional Langevin Equation
Abstract: We investigate the influence of a self-propelling, out-of-equilibrium active particle on generalized elastic systems, including flexible and semiflexible polymers, fluid membranes, and fluctuating interfaces, while accounting for long-ranged hydrodynamic effects. We derive the fractional Langevin equation governing the dynamics of the active particle, as well as that of any other passive particle (or probe) bound to the elastic system. This equation demonstrates analytically how the active particle dynamics is influenced by the interplay of both the non-equilibrium force and of the viscoelastic environment. Our study explores the diffusional behavior emerging for both the active particle and a distant probe.The active particle undergoes three different surprising and counterintuitive regimes identified by the distinct dynamical time-scales: a pseudo-ballistic initial phase, a drastic decrease of the mobility and an asymptotic subdiffusive regime.
