Green-Kubo approach to active Brownian systems — •abhinav sharma and joseph Brader — Universite de Fribourg, Rue du Musee 3, ch 1700, Fribourg

We develop an exact Green-Kubo formula relating nonequilibrium averages in systems of interacting active Brownian particles to equilibrium time-correlation functions. The method is applied to calculate the density-dependent average swim speed, which is a key quantity entering coarse grained theories of active matter. The average swim speed is determined by integrating the equilibrium autocorrelation function of the interaction force acting on a tagged particle. We generalize our approach to a spatially and time varying activity. Analytical results are validated using Brownian dynamics simulations.
