Phase separation in ordered polar active fluids: A new Universality class
Maxx Miller, John Toner
We show that phase separation in ordered polar active fluids belongs to a new universality class. This describes large collections of self-propelled entities (``flocks"), all spont…

Following your nose: Autochemotaxis and other mechanisms for spinodal decomposition in flocks
Maxx Miller, John Toner
We develop the hydrodynamic theory of dry, polar ordered, active matter (``flocking") with autochemotaxis; i.e., self-propelled entities moving in the same direction, each emitting…

Spinodal decomposition and phase separation in polar active matter
Maxx Miller, John Toner
We develop and study the hydrodynamic theory of flocking with autochemotaxis. This describes large collections of self-propelled entities all spontaneously moving in the same direc…
