Collective order reorganizes dissipation and powers an active engine
Michael Riedl, Vincent Wattiez, Étienne Fodor +2
Motile active matter systems, from animal groups to synthetic particles, exhibit spontaneous self-organized transitions between disordered and ordered collective states. These tran…
Active Loop Extrusion guides DNA-Protein Condensation
Ryota Takaki, Yahor Savich, Jan Brugués +1
The spatial organization of DNA involves DNA loop extrusion and the formation of protein-DNA condensates. While the significance of each process is increasingly recognized, their i…
Model for probing membrane-cortex adhesion by micropipette aspiration and fluctuation spectroscopy
Ricard Alert, Jaume Casademunt, Jan Brugués +1
We propose a model for membrane-cortex adhesion which couples membrane deformations, hydrodynamics and kinetics of membrane-cortex ligands. In its simplest form, the model gives ex…
Newton-Hooke Algebras, Non-relativistic Branes and Generalized pp-wave Metrics
Jan Brugues, Joaquim Gomis, Kiyoshi Kamimura
The Newton-Hooke algebras in d dimensions are constructed as contractions of dS(AdS) algebras. Non-relativistic brane actions are WZ terms of these Newton-Hooke algebras. The NH al…
Non-perturbative states in type II superstring theory from classical spinning membranes
Jan Brugues, Joan Rojo, Jorge G. Russo
We find a new family of exact solutions in membrane theory, representing toroidal membranes spinning in several planes. They have energy square proportional to the sum of the diffe…
Non-relativistic strings and branes as non-linear realizations of Galilei groups
Jan Brugues, Thomas Curtright, Joaquim Gomis +1
We construct actions for non-relativistic strings and membranes purely as Wess-Zumino terms of the underlying Galilei groups.
