True and Quasi Long-Range Order in Malthusian Flocks
Patrick Jentsch, Anna Erzberger
Living matter undergoes continuous turnover. The hydrodynamic theory of Malthusian flocks describes polar active matter with turnover, but its phase diagram and nonlinear scaling b…
Ensemble theory of thermodiffusion
R. Belousov, J. Elliott, A. Erzberger
The paper develops a path‑ensemble graph model, calibrated from equilibrium simulations, to predict coupled heat and mass transport (thermodiffusion) and estimate the Soret coeffic…
System size and boundaries determine the patterning dynamics of attracting active particles
Jan Rombouts, Michael L Zhao, Alexander Aulehla +1
Pattern formation often occurs in confined systems, yet how boundaries shape patterning dynamics is unclear. We develop techniques to analyze confinement effects in nonlocal advect…
Repulsive particle interactions enable selective information processing at cellular interfaces
Jenna Elliott, Hiral Shah, Roman Belousov +2
Living systems relay information across membrane interfaces to coordinate compartment functions. We identify a physical mechanism for selective information transmission that arises…
Microcanonical ensemble out of equilibrium
Roman Belousov, Jenna Elliott, Florian Berger +2
Introduced by Boltzmann under the name "monode," the microcanonical ensemble serves as the fundamental representation of equilibrium thermodynamics in statistical mechanics by coun…
Boundary geometry controls a topological defect transition that determines lumen nucleation in embryonic development
Pamela C. Guruciaga, Takafumi Ichikawa, Steffen Plunder +2
Topological defects determine the collective properties of anisotropic materials. How their configurations are controlled is not well understood however, especially in 3D. In livin…
