Stochastic Models of Exotic Transport

Abstract

Non-typical transport phenomena may arise when randomly driven particles remain in an active relationship with the environment instead of being passive. If we attribute to Brownian particles an ability to induce alterations of the environment on suitable space-time scales, those in turn must influence their further movement. In that case a general feedback mechanism needs to be respected. By resorting to a specific choice of the particle-bath coupling, an enhanced (super-diffusion) or non-dispersive diffusion-typ processes are found to exist in generically non-equilibrium contexts.Comment: delivered at 36th Karpacz Winter Schoool of Theoretical Physics, 11-19 Feb. 0
