Self-propelled particle in a nonconvex external potential: Persistent limit in one dimension

Yaouen Fily

Equilibrium mapping techniques for nonaligning self-propelled particles have made it possible to predict the density profile of an active ideal gas in a wide variety of external po…

Mechanical pressure and momentum conservation in dry active matter

Yaouen Fily, Yariv Kafri, Alexandre P. Solon +2

We relate the breakdown of equations of states for the mechanical pressure of generic dry active systems to the lack of momentum conservation in such systems. We show how sources a…

Equilibrium mappings in polar-isotropic confined active particles

Yaouen Fily, Aparna Baskaran, Michael F. Hagan

Despite their fundamentally non-equilibrium nature, the individual and collective behavior of active systems with polar propulsion and isotropic interactions (polar-isotropic activ…

Active Particles on Curved Surfaces

Yaouen Fily, Aparna Baskaran, Michael F. Hagan

Recent studies have highlighted the sensitivity of active matter to boundaries and their geometries. Here we develop a general theory for the dynamics and statistics of active part…

Minimal model of active colloids highlights the role of mechanical interactions in controlling the emergent behavior of active matter

M. Cristina Marchetti, Yaouen Fily, Silke Henkes +2

Minimal models of active Brownian colloids consisting of self-propelled spherical particles with purely repulsive interactions have recently been identified as excellent quantitati…

Rigid cluster decomposition reveals criticality in frictional jamming

Silke Henkes, David A. Quint, Y. Fily +1

We study the nature of the frictional jamming transition within the framework of rigidity percolation theory. Slowly sheared frictional packings are decomposed into rigid clusters…
