Generic long-range correlations in conserved nonequilibrium mixtures

Jessica Metzger, Yariv Kafri, Mehran Kardar +1

We study correlation functions in conserved nonequilibrium mixtures, including multi-temperature systems and non-reciprocal field theories. The corresponding linear theory is short…

Contact Forces in Motility-Regulated Active Matter

Quan Manh Nguyen, Manh-Quan Nguyen, Alberto Dinelli +2

Long-range interactions are ubiquitous in nature, where they are mediated by diffusive fields at the cellular scale or by visual cues for groups of animals. Short-range forces, whi…

Random motility regulation as a generic mechanism of community formation

Alberto Dinelli, Ada Altieri, Julien Tailleur

The self-organization of microbial ecosystems involves a large variety of mechanisms, ranging from biochemical signaling to population dynamics. Among these, the role of motility r…

Synthetic Quorum Sensing and Absorbing Phase Transitions in Colloidal Active Matter

Thibault Lefranc, Alberto Dinelli, Carla Fernández-Rico +3

Unlike biological active matter that constantly adapt to their environment, the motors of synthetic active particles are typically agnostic to their surroundings and merely operate…

Fluctuating hydrodynamics of active particles interacting via taxis and quorum sensing: static and dynamics

Alberto Dinelli, Jérémy O'Byrne, Julien Tailleur

In this article we derive and test the fluctuating hydrodynamic description of active particles interacting via taxis and quorum sensing, both for mono-disperse systems and for mix…

Lattice Models of Nonequilibrium Bacterial Dynamics

A. G. Thompson, J. Tailleur, M. E. Cates +1

We study a model of self propelled particles exhibiting run and tumble dynamics on lattice. This non-Brownian diffusion is characterised by a random walk with a finite persistence…

Run-and-tumble particles with hydrodynamics: sedimentation, trapping and upstream swimming

R. W. Nash, R. Adhikari, J. Tailleur +1

We simulate by lattice Boltzmann the nonequilibrium steady states of run-and-tumble particles (inspired by a minimal model of bacteria), interacting by far-field hydrodynamics, sub…

Arrested phase separation in reproducing bacteria: a generic route to pattern formation?

M. E. Cates, D. Marenduzzo, I. Pagonabarraga +1

We present a generic mechanism by which reproducing microorganisms, with a diffusivity that depends on the local population density, can form stable patterns. It is known that a de…
