Dense Driven and Active Colloidal Systems

Kurzfassung

We review recent theoretical and numerical developments in shear-driven colloidal suspensions and in dense active-particle systems, with a focus on the dynamics close to the glass transition. The review is guided by the idea that microscopic models of glassy sheared and active colloidal suspensions allow to understand the deep connection, but potentially also the differences between the two modes of driving a system out of equilibrium, in particular through the time-delayed memory effects in the many-particle dynamics.
