      abstract     = {The conformational properties of flexible and semiflexible
                      polymers exposed to active noise are studied theoretically.
                      The noise may originate from the interaction of the polymer
                      with surrounding active (Brownian) particles or from the
                      inherent motion of the polymer itself, which may be composed
                      of active Brownian particles. In the latter case, the
                      respective monomers are independently propelled in
                      directions changing diffusively. For the description of the
                      polymer, we adopt the continuous Gaussian semiflexible
                      polymer model. Specifically, the finite polymer
                      extensibility is taken into account, which turns out to be
                      essential for the polymer conformations. Our analytical
                      calculations predict a strong dependence of the relaxation
                      times on the activity. In particular, semiflexible polymers
                      exhibit a crossover from a bending elasticity-dominated
                      dynamics to the flexible polymer dynamics with increasing
                      activity. This leads to a significant activity-induced
                      polymer shrinkage over a large range of self-propulsion
                      velocities. For large activities, the polymers swell and
                      their extension becomes comparable to the contour length.
