Geometry-Induced Transport of Self-Aligning Chiral Bristlebots

Timo Wagner, Michael Himpel, Thomas Ihle +1

Active matter systems characterized by the interplay of chirality and self-alignment offer a rich landscape for non-equilibrium collective behaviors and the development of autonomo…

Dynamics of Aligning Active Matter: Mapping to a Schrödinger Equation and Exact Diagonalization

Tara Steinhöfel, Horst-Holger Boltz, Thomas Ihle

There has been recent interest in the relaxational modes of small-scale fully connected systems of aligning self-propelled particles (Spera et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 132}: 0783…

Spectral insights into active matter: Exceptional Points and the Mathieu equation

Horst-Holger Boltz, Thomas Ihle

We show that recent numerical findings of universal scaling relations in systems of noisy, aligning self-propelled particles by Kürsten [Kürsten, arXiv:2402.18711v2 [cond-mat.soft]…

Non-reciprocal anti-aligning active mixtures: deriving the exact Boltzmann collision operator

Jakob Mihatsch, Thomas Ihle

We consider the effect of non-reciprocity in a binary mixture of self-propelled particles with anti-aligning interactions, where a particle of type A reacts differently to a partic…

Reduced density fluctuations via anti-aligning in active matter

Horst-Holger Boltz, Thomas Ihle

We highlight the importance of long-range correlations in active matter systems of self-propelling particles even in the absence of global order or steric interactions by demonstra…

Comment on "Steady-state distributions and nonsteady dynamics in nonequilibrium systems"

Horst-Holger Boltz, Thomas Ihle

We comment on a work by T. Liverpool (Phys. Rev. E 101 (2020)). We show that a theorem stated in that work is not correct. While this is inconsequential to the bulk of the work (an…

Asymptotically exact scattering theory of the Kuramoto-Vicsek model

Thomas Ihle, Horst-Holger Boltz, Rüdiger Kürsten +1

We consider the Kuramoto-Vicsek model of self-propelled particles with velocity-alignment interactions. Starting from the exact -particle Liouville equation, a kinetic equation…
