Boundary and bulk perturbations in vectorial active matter

Giuseppe Fava

Active matter, i.e., nonequilibrium systems that transform non-thermal energy from the environment into self-propulsion or other functional mechanisms, has attracted the attention…

Density-protected states in active matter under virtual confinement

Giuseppe Fava, Francesco Ginelli, Benoît Mahault

We investigate photo-responsive structure formation in a minimal model of dry active nematics. Combining microscopic simulations with the analysis of the corresponding hydrodynamic…

Boundary symmetry breaking of flocking systems

Leonardo Lenzini, Giuseppe Fava, Francesco Ginelli

We consider a flocking system confined transversally between two infinite reflecting parallel walls separated by a distance . Infinite or periodic boundary conditions are…

Strong Casimir-like Forces in Flocking Active Matter

Giuseppe Fava, Andrea Gambassi, Francesco Ginelli

Confining in space the equilibrium fluctuations of statistical systems with long-range correlations is known to result into effective forces on the boundaries. Here we demonstrate…

Signatures of directed and spontaneous flocking

Martino Brambati, Giuseppe Fava, Francesco Ginelli

Collective motion - or flocking - is an emergent phenomena that underlies many biological processes of relevance, from cellular migrations to animal groups movement. In this work,…
