Kinetic theory of pattern formation in a generalized multi-species Vicsek model
Eloise Lardet, Letian Chen, Thibault Bertrand
The theoretical understanding of pattern formation in active systems remains a central problem of interest. Heterogeneous flocks made up of multiple species can exhibit a remarkabl…
Eph-ephrin-mediated differential persistence as a mechanism for cell sorting
Marius Bothe, Eloise Lardet, Alexei Poliakov +3
The phenomenon of cell sorting/segregation, by which cells organise spatially into clusters of specific cell type or function, is essential for tissue morphogenesis. This self-orga…
Flocking Beyond One Species: Novel Phase Coexistence in a Generalized Two-Species Vicsek Model
Eloise Lardet, Letian Chen, Thibault Bertrand
A hallmark in natural systems, self-organization often stems from very simple interaction rules between individual agents. While single-species self-propelled particle systems are…
Disordered Yet Directed: The Emergence of Polar Flocks with Disordered Interactions
Eloise Lardet, Raphaël Voituriez, Silvia Grigolon +1
Flocking is a prime example of how robust collective behavior can emerge from simple interaction rules. The flocking transition has been studied extensively since the inception of…
