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…
