Comment on "Flocking without Alignment Interactions in Attractive Active Brownian Particles [arXiv:2303.07746]"
Benoît Mahault
In a recent Letter, Caprini and Löwen argue that attractive active Brownian particles can flock even in the absence of explicit aligning interactions of their velocities. In this c…

Small Obstacle in a Large Polar Flock
Joan Codina, Benoît Mahault, Hugues Chaté +3
We show that arbitrarily large polar flocks are susceptible to the presence of a single small obstacle. In a wide region of parameter space, the obstacle triggers counter-propagati…
