Phase Separation in Fractonic Fluids: Coarsening, Interfaces, Nucleation, and Hyperuniformity in and out of Equilibrium

Raphael Maire

We develop a theory of phase separation in fluids conserving higher-order multipole moments of a scalar density, and investigate the resulting coarsening dynamics, nucleation, and…

Topology of Fluctuation Bands in Chiral Active Crystals

Raphaël Maire

While band topology is usually associated with the deterministic dynamics of a system, we show that it can instead reside in its fluctuations. Using a reciprocal lattice driven by…

Kinetic and Hydrodynamic Theories of Chiral Intruder Dynamics in Nonequilibrium Baths

Raphaël Maire, Ignacio Pagonabarraga

We study the chiral dynamics of an intruder immersed in a nonequilibrium bath in two complementary limits: the dilute kinetic regime and the dense hydrodynamic regime. In the dilut…

Chiral Dynamics of an Intruder across Dilute and Hydrodynamic Regimes

Raphaël Maire, Ignacio Pagonabarraga

We introduce and simulate an analytically tractable model for an intruder of arbitrary shape in a nonequilibrium bath, with chirality originating from the bath, the intruder, or th…

Kinetic Theory of Chiral Active Disks: Odd Transport and Torque Density

Raphael Maire, Alessandro Petrini, Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi +1

Parity-odd transport is a central signature of chiral fluids, yet analytical predictions are sparse. Here, we introduce a minimal two-dimensional hard-disk gas in which chirality a…

Hyperuniformity in active fluids reshapes nucleation and capillary-wave dynamics

Raphaël Maire

While nucleation in typical active and driven fluids often appears equilibrium-like, striking departures emerge when large-scale fluctuations are strongly suppressed. Here, we inve…

Conservation laws and slow dynamics determine the universality class of interfaces in active matter

Raphaël Maire, Andrea Plati, Frank Smallenburg +1

While equilibrium interfaces display universal large-scale statistics, interfaces in phase-separated active and driven systems are predicted to belong to distinct non-equilibrium u…

Hyperuniformity and conservation laws in non-equilibrium systems

Raphaël Maire, Ludivine Chaix

We demonstrate that hyperuniformity, the suppression of density fluctuations at large length scales, emerges generically from the interplay between conservation laws and non-equili…

Hyperuniform interfaces in non-equilibrium phase coexistence

Raphaël Maire, Leonardo Galliano, Andrea Plati +1

We show that long-wavelength interfacial fluctuations are strongly suppressed in non-equilibrium phase coexistence between bulk hyperuniform systems. Using simulations of three dis…

Interplay between an absorbing phase transition and synchronization in a driven granular system

R. Maire, A. Plati, M. Stockinger +3

Absorbing phase transitions (APTs) are widespread in non-equilibrium systems, spanning condensed matter, epidemics, earthquakes, ecology, and chemical reactions. APTs feature an ab…
