Exact collective first-passage statistics of N trail-interacting walkers

Paul Pineau, Julien Brémont, Olivier Bénichou +1

Memory encoded in the environment mediates interactions between active agents, from trail-following organisms to synthetic active matter depositing persistent tracks. Although such…

Aging Record Statistics in Saturating Self-Interacting Random Walks

J. Brémont, R. Voituriez, O. Bénichou

The record age tau_k, defined as the time between the k-th and k+1-st record-breaking events, is a central observable of extreme-value statistics. In Markovian processes, the absen…

Density and shape govern the dynamical self-organization of active matter on a droplet

Romain Leroux, Andre Estevez-Torres, Raphael Voituriez +3

Morphogenesis emerges from dynamic feedback among geometry, mechanics, and chemistry; however, disentangling these contributions in living systems remains challenging. Here, we foc…

Emergent memory in cell-like active systems

Marc Besse, Raphaël Voituriez

Active systems across scales, ranging from molecular machines to human crowds, are usually modeled as assemblies of self-propelled particles driven by internally generated forces.…

Collective dynamics of trail-interacting particles

Paul Pineau, Samuel Bell, Raphaël Voituriez +1

Trail interactions occur when past particle trajectories bias future motion, rendering the system out of thermodynamic equilibrium. While such systems are abundant in nature, their…

Stochastic Forces Enhance Tracer Diffusion in Non-motile Active Matter

Henry Alston, Raphael Voituriez, Thibault Bertrand

Stochasticity is a defining feature of the pairwise forces governing interactions in biological systems-from molecular motors to cell-cell adhesion-yet its consequences on large-sc…
