We introduce and study a model in one dimension of $N$ run-and-tumble particles (RTP) which repel each other logarithmically in the presence of an external quadratic potential. This is an ``active'' version of the well-known Dyson Brownian motion (DBM) where the particles are subjected to a telegraphic noise, with two possible states $\pm$ with velocity $\pm v_0$. We study analytically and numerically two different versions of this model. In model I a particle only interacts with particles in the same state, while in model II all the particles interact with each other. In the large time limit, both models converge to a steady state where the stationary density has a finite support. For finite $N$, the stationary density exhibits singularities, which disappear when $N \to +\infty$. In that limit, for model I, using a Dean-Kawasaki approach, we show that the stationary density of $+$ (respectively $-$) particles deviates from the DBM Wigner semi-circular shape, and vanishes with an exponent $3/2$ at one of the edges. In model II, the Dean-Kawasaki approach fails but we obtain strong evidence that the density in the large $N$ limit still retains a Wigner semi-circular shape.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
