Non-equilibrium phase transition in the Brownian Ising Model: field theory, renormalization group, and exact results

Mattia Scandolo, Luca Di Carlo

We present a complete field-theoretical renormalization-group (RG) analysis of the Brownian Ising Model (BIM), in which a order parameter is coupled to a passive con…

Non-equilibrium coupling to a diffusing density breaks Ising universality

Mattia Scandolo, Johannes Pausch, Michael E. Cates +1

The Ising universality class is remarkably robust to non-equilibrium perturbations, which generically flow to zero under renormalization. We show that this robustness fails when an…

Informational Memory Shapes Collective Behavior in Intelligent Swarms

Shengkai Li, Trung V. Phan, Luca Di Carlo +5

We present an experimental and theoretical study of 2-D swarms in which collective behavior emerges from both direct local mechanical coupling between agents and from the exchange…

The off-equilibrium Kinetic Ising model: The Metric Case

Luca Di Carlo

We investigate the critical behavior of the Kinetic Ising model with non-reciprocal nearest neighbors interactions. A finite-size scaling study suggests that the model belongs to t…

Monte Carlo, blocking, and inference: How to measure the renormalization group flow

Luca Di Carlo

Renormalization group theory is a powerful and intriguing technique with a wide range of applications. One of the main successes of renormalization group theory is the description…

Beam energy dependence of the linear and mode-coupled flow harmonics in Au+Au collisions

STAR Collaboration, B. E. Aboona, J. Adam +341

The linear and mode-coupled contributions to higher-order anisotropic flow are presented for Au+Au collisions at = 27, 39, 54.4, and 200 GeV and compared t…

Evidence of fluctuation-induced first-order phase transition in active matter

Luca Di Carlo, Mattia Scandolo

We study the properties of the Malthusian Toner-Tu theory in its near ordering phase. Because of the birth/death process, characteristic of this Malthusian model, density fluctuati…

Collision-System and Beam-Energy Dependence of Anisotropic Flow Fluctuations

STAR Collaboration, M. S. Abdallah, J. Adam +381

Elliptic flow measurements from two-, four- and six-particle correlations are used to investigate flow fluctuations in collisions of U+U at = 193 GeV, Cu+Au at $…

Measurements of Proton High Order Cumulants in 3 GeV Au+Au Collisions and Implications for the QCD Critical Point

STAR Collaboration, M. S. Abdallah, B. E. Aboona +388

We report cumulants of the proton multiplicity distribution from dedicated fixed-target Au+Au collisions at 3.0 GeV, measured by the STAR experiment in the kinematic acceptance of…

Dynamical renormalization group for mode-coupling field theories with solenoidal constraint

Andrea Cavagna, Luca di Carlo, Irene Giardina +3

The recent inflow of empirical data about the collective behaviour of strongly correlated biological systems has brought field theory and the renormalization group into the biophys…

Equilibrium to off-equilibrium crossover in homogeneous active matter

Andrea Cavagna, Luca Di Carlo, Irene Giardina +2

We study the crossover between equilibrium and off-equilibrium dynamical universality classes in the Vicsek model near its ordering transition. Starting from the incompressible hyd…

Renormalization group crossover in the critical dynamics of field theories with mode coupling terms

Andrea Cavagna, Luca Di Carlo, Irene Giardina +3

Motivated by the collective behaviour of biological swarms, we study the critical dynamics of field theories with coupling between order parameter and conjugate momentum in the pre…

Dynamical renormalization group approach to the collective behaviour of swarms

Andrea Cavagna, Luca Di Carlo, Irene Giardina +3

We study the critical behaviour of a model with non-dissipative couplings aimed at describing the collective behaviour of natural swarms, using the dynamical renormalization group.…
