Abstract
We provide an analytical solution for the time-dependent Fokker-Planck equation for a two-dimensional active Brownian particle trapped in an isotropic harmonic potential. Using the passive Brownian particle as basis states we show that the Fokker-Planck operator becomes lower diagonal, implying that the eigenvalues are unaffected by the activity. The propagator is then expressed as a combination of the equilibrium eigenstates with weights obeying exact iterative relations. We show that for the low-order correlation functions, such as the positional autocorrelation function, the recursion terminates at finite order in the Péclet number, allowing us to generate exact compact expressions and derive the velocity autocorrelation function and the time-dependent diffusion coefficient. The nonmonotonic behavior of latter quantities serves as a fingerprint of the nonequilibrium dynamics.

Abstract
Many-body interactions in systems of active matter can cause particles to move collectively and self-organize into dynamic structures with long-range order. In cells, the self-assembly of cytoskeletal filaments is critical for cellular motility, structure, intracellular transport, and division. Semiflexible cytoskeletal filaments driven by polymerization or motor-protein interactions on a two-dimensional substrate, such as the cell cortex, can induce filament bending and curvature leading to interesting collective behavior. For example, the bacterial cell-division filament FtsZ is known to have intrinsic curvature that causes it to self-organize into rings and vortices, and recent experiments reconstituting the collective motion of microtubules driven by motor proteins on a surface have observed chiral symmetry breaking of the collective behavior due to motor-induced curvature of the filaments. Previous work on the self-organization of driven filament systems have not studied the effects of curvature and filament structure on collective behavior. In this work, we present Brownian dynamics simulation results of driven semiflexible filaments with intrinsic curvature and investigate how the interplay between filament rigidity and radius of curvature can tune the self-organization behavior in homochiral systems and heterochiral mixtures. We find a curvature-induced reorganization from polar flocks to self-sorted chiral clusters, which is modified by filament flexibility. This transition changes filament transport from ballistic to diffusive at long timescales.

Abstract
The conformational and dynamical properties of active polymers in solution are determined by the nature of the activity. Here, the behavior of polymers with self-propelled, active Brownian particle-type monomers differs qualitatively from that of polymers with monomers driven externally by colored-noise forces. We present simulation and theoretical results for polymers in solution in the presence of external active noise. In simulations, a semiflexible bead-spring chain is considered, in analytical calculations, a continuous linear wormlike chain. Activity is taken into account by independent monomer or site velocities, with orientations changing in a diffusive manner. In simulations, hydrodynamic interactions (HIs) are taken into account by the Rotne-Prager-Yamakawa tensor or by an implementation of the active polymer in the multiparticle-collision-dynamics approach for fluids. To arrive at an analytical solution, the preaveraged Oseen tensor is employed. The active process implies a dependence of the stationary-state properties on HIs via the polymer relaxation times. With increasing activity, HIs lead to an enhanced swelling of flexible polymers, and the conformational properties differ substantially from those of polymers with self-propelled monomers in the presence of HIs, or free-draining polymers. The polymer mean-square displacement is enhanced by HIs. Over a wide range of timescales, hydrodynamics leads to a subdiffusive regime of the site mean-square displacement for flexible active polymers, with an exponent of 5/7, larger than that of the Rouse (1/2) and Zimm (2/3) models of passive polymers.

Abstract
Typically the motion of self-propelled active particles is described in a quiescent environment establishing an inertial frame of reference. Here we assume that friction, self-propulsion, and fluctuations occur relative to a noninertial frame and thereby the active Brownian motion model is generalized to noninertial frames. First, analytical solutions are presented for the overdamped case, both for linear swimmers and for circle swimmers. For a frame rotating with constant angular velocity ("carousel"), the resulting noise-free trajectories in the static laboratory frame are trochoids if these are circles in the rotating frame. For systems governed by inertia, such as vibrated granulates or active complex plasmas, centrifugal and Coriolis forces become relevant. For both linear and circling self-propulsion, these forces lead to out-spiraling trajectories which for long times approach a spira mirabilis. This implies that a self-propelled particle will typically leave a rotating carousel. A navigation strategy is proposed to avoid this expulsion, by adjusting the self-propulsion direction at will. For a particle, initially quiescent in the rotating frame, it is shown that this strategy only works if the initial distance to the rotation center is smaller than a critical radius R_{c} which scales with the self-propulsion velocity. Possible experiments to verify the theoretical predictions are discussed.

Abstract
The conformational and rheological properties of active filaments/polymers exposed to shear flow are studied analytically. Using the continuous Gaussian semiflexible polymer model extended by the activity, we derive analytical expressions for the dependence of the deformation, orientation, relaxation times, and viscosity on the persistence length, shear rate, and activity. The model yields a Weissenberg-number dependent shear-induced deformation, alignment, and shear thinning behavior, similarly to the passive counterpart. Thereby, the model shows an intimate coupling between activity and shear flow. As a consequence, activity enhances the shear-induced polymer deformation for flexible polymers. For semiflexible polymers/filaments, a nonmonotonic deformation is obtained because of the activity-induced shrinkage at moderate and swelling at large activities. Independent of stiffness, activity-induced swelling facilitates and enhances alignment and shear thinning compared to a passive polymer. In the asymptotic limit of large activities, a polymer length- and stiffness-independent behavior is obtained, with universal shear-rate dependencies for the conformations, dynamics, and rheology.

Abstract
The self-propelled microswimmers have recently attracted considerable attention as model systems for biological cell migration as well as artificial micromachines. A simple and well-studied microswimmer model consists of three identical spherical beads joined by two springs in a linear fashion with active oscillatory forces being applied on the beads to generate self-propulsion. We have extended this linear microswimmer configuration to a triangular geometry where the three beads are connected by three identical springs in an equilateral triangular manner. The active forces acting on each spring can lead to autonomous steering motion; i.e., allowing the swimmer to move along arbitrary paths. We explore the microswimmer dynamics analytically and pinpoint its rich character depending on the nature of the active forces. The microswimmers can translate along a straight trajectory, rotate at a fixed location, as well as perform a simultaneous translation and rotation resulting in complex curved trajectories. The sinusoidal active forces on the three springs of the microswimmer contain naturally four operating parameters which are more than required for the steering motion. We identify the minimal operating parameters which are essential for the motion of the microswimmer along any given arbitrary trajectory. Therefore, along with providing insights into the mechanics of the complex motion of the natural and artificial microswimmers, the triangular three-bead microswimmer can be utilized as a model for targeted drug delivery systems and autonomous underwater vehicles where intricate trajectories are involved.

Abstract
Geometric confinements are frequently encountered in soft matter systems and in particular significantly alter the dynamics of swimming microorganisms in viscous media. Surface-related effects on the motility of microswimmers can lead to important consequences in a large number of biological systems, such as biofilm formation, bacterial adhesion and microbial activity. On the basis of low-Reynolds-number hydrodynamics, we explore the state diagram of a three-sphere microswimmer under channel confinement in a slit geometry and fully characterize the swimming behavior and trajectories for neutral swimmers, puller- and pusher-type swimmers. While pushers always end up trapped at the channel walls, neutral swimmers and pullers may further perform a gliding motion and maintain a stable navigation along the channel. We find that the resulting dynamical system exhibits a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation in which swimming in the mid-plane becomes unstable beyond a transition channel height while two new stable limit cycles or fixed points that are symmetrically disposed with respect to the channel mid-height emerge. Additionally, we show that an accurate description of the averaged swimming velocity and rotation rate in a channel can be captured analytically using the method of hydrodynamic images, provided that the swimmer size is much smaller than the channel height.

Abstract
The intramolecular dynamics of flexible and semiflexible polymers in response to active noise is studied theoretically. The active noise may either originate from interactions of a passive polymer with a bath of active Brownian particles or the polymer itself is comprised of active Brownian particles. We describe the polymer by the continuous Gaussian semiflexible-polymer model, taking into account the finite polymer extensibility. Our analytical calculations predict a strong dependence of the polymer dynamics on the activity. In particular, active semiflexible polymers exhibit a crossover from a bending elasticity-dominated dynamics at weak activity to that of flexible polymers at strong activity. The end-to-end vector correlation function decays exponentially for times longer than the longest polymer relaxation time. Thereby, the polymer relaxation determines the decay of the correlation function for long and flexible polymers. For shorter and stiffer polymers, the relaxation behavior of individual active Brownian particles dominates the decay above a certain activity. The diffusive dynamics of a polymer is substantially enhanced by the activity. Three regimes can be identified in the mean square displacement for sufficiently strong activities: an activity-induced ballistic regime at short times, followed by a Rouse-type polymer-specific regime for any polymer stiffness, and free diffusion at long times, again determined by the activity.

Abstract
Dynamics of active deformable particles in an external Poiseuille flow is investigated. To make the analysis general, we employ time-evolution equations derived from symmetry considerations that take into account an elliptical shape deformation. First, we clarify the relation of our model to that of rigid active particles. Then, we study the dynamical modes that active deformable particles exhibit by changing the strength of the external flow. We emphasize the difference between the active particles that tend to self-propel parallel to the elliptical shape deformation and those self-propelling perpendicularly. In particular, a swinging motion around the centerline far from the channel walls is discussed in detail.

Abstract
In this work we consider the following question: given a mechanical microswimming mechanism, does increased deformability of the swimmer body hinder or promote the motility of the swimmer? To answer this we run immersed-boundary-lattice-Boltzmann simulations of a microswimmer composed of deformable beads connected with springs. We find that the same deformations in the beads can result in different effects on the swimming velocity, namely an enhancement or a reduction, depending on the other parameters. To understand this we determine analytically the velocity of the swimmer, starting from the forces driving the motion and assuming that the deformations in the beads are known as functions of time and are much smaller than the beads themselves. We find that to the lowest order, only the driving frequency mode of the surface deformations contributes to the swimming velocity, and comparison to the simulations shows that both the velocity-promoting and velocity-hindering effects of bead deformability are reproduced correctly by the theory in the limit of small bead deformations. For the case of active deformations we show that there are critical values of the spring constant - which for a general swimmer corresponds to its main elastic degree of freedom - which decide whether the body deformability is beneficial for motion or not.

Abstract
The conformational properties of flexible and semiflexible polymers exposed to active noise are studied theoretically. The noise may originate from the interaction of the polymer with surrounding active (Brownian) particles or from the inherent motion of the polymer itself, which may be composed of active Brownian particles. In the latter case, the respective monomers are independently propelled in directions changing diffusively. For the description of the polymer, we adopt the continuous Gaussian semiflexible polymer model. Specifically, the finite polymer extensibility is taken into account, which turns out to be essential for the polymer conformations. Our analytical calculations predict a strong dependence of the relaxation times on the activity. In particular, semiflexible polymers exhibit a crossover from a bending elasticity-dominated dynamics to the flexible polymer dynamics with increasing activity. This leads to a significant activity-induced polymer shrinkage over a large range of self-propulsion velocities. For large activities, the polymers swell and their extension becomes comparable to the contour length. The scaling properties of the mean square end-to-end distance with respect to the polymer length and monomer activity are discussed.
