Stochastic resetting in interacting particle systems: a review

We review recent work on systems with multiple interacting-particles having the dynamical feature of stochastic resetting. The interplay of time scales related to inter-particle interactions and resetting leads to a rich behaviour, both static and dynamic. The presence of multiple particles also opens up a new possibility for the resetting dynamics itself, namely, that of different particles resetting all together (global resetting) or independently (local resetting). We divide the review on the basis of specifics of reset dynamics (global versus local resetting), and further, on the basis of number (two versus a large number) of interacting particles. We will primarily be dealing with classical systems, and only briefly discuss resetting in quantum systems.
