Nonequilibrium statistics of harmonically trapped run-and-tumble particles: An exact convolution approach

We study one-dimensional run-and-tumble particles confined by a harmonic potential and coupled to an equilibrium thermal bath. Exploiting the coupling of active and thermal degrees of freedom through the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck propagator, we show that the position distribution factorizes, as a convolution, into the Ornstei...
