Emergent organization and polarization due to active fluctuations

We introduce and study a model of active Brownian motion with multiplicative noise describing fluctuations in the self-propulsion or activity. We find that the standard picture of density accumulation in slow regions is qualitatively modified by active fluctuations, as stationary density profiles ar...
