For reaction-diffusion processes with at most bimolecular reactants, we derive well-behaved, numerically tractable, exact Langevin equations that govern a stochastic variable related to the response field in field theory. Using duality relations, we show how the particle number and other quantities of interest can be computed. Our work clarifies long-standing conceptual issues encountered in field-theoretical approaches and paves the way for systematic numerical and theoretical analyses of reaction-diffusion problems.

Stochastic Model for a Piezoelectric Energy Harvester Driven by Broadband Vibrations.

We present an experimental and numerical study of a piezoelectric energy harvester driven by broadband vibrations. This device can extract power from random fluctuations and can be described by a stochastic model, based on an underdamped Langevin equation with white noise, which mimics the dynamics of the piezoelectric material. A crucial point in the modelisation is represented by the appropriate description of the coupled load circuit that is necessary to harvest electrical energy.

In this study, we present a comprehensive analysis of the motion of a tagged monomer within a Gaussian semiflexible polymer model. We carefully derived the generalized Langevin equation (GLE) that governs the motion of a tagged central monomer. This derivation involves integrating out all the other degrees of freedom within the polymer chain, thereby yielding an effective description of the viscoelastic motion of the tagged monomer.

Hydrogen hydrates exhibit a rich phase diagram influenced by both pressure and temperature, with the so-called C_{2} phase emerging prominently above 2.5 GPa. In this phase, hydrogen molecules are densely packed within a cubic icelike lattice and the interaction with the surrounding water molecules profoundly affects their quantum rotational dynamics.

The physical significance of the stochastic processes associated to the generalized Gibbs ensembles is scrutinized here with special attention to the thermodynamic fluctuations of small systems. Differently from the so-called stochastic thermodynamics, which starts from stochastic versions of the first and second law of thermodynamics and associates thermodynamic quantities to microscopic variables, here we consider stochastic variability directly in the macroscopic variables. By recognizing the potential structure of the Gibbs ensembles, when expressed as a function of the potential entropy generation, we obtain exact nonlinear thermodynamic Langevin equations (TLEs) for macroscopic variables, with drift expressed in terms of entropic forces.

We analyze gravitaxis of a Brownian circle swimmer by deriving and analytically characterizing the experimentally measurable intermediate scattering function (ISF). To solve the associated Fokker-Planck equation, we use a spectral-theory approach, finding formal expressions in terms of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the overdamped-noisy-driven pendulum problem. We further perform a Taylor series of the ISF in the wavevector to extract the cumulants up to the fourth order.
