How active field theories couple to external potentials
Yariv Kafri, Julien Tailleur
We study the simplest terms that need to be included in active field theories to couple them to external potentials. To do so, we consider active Brownian particles and implement a…
How Continuous Symmetry Stabilizes the Ordered Phase of Polar Flocks
Omer Granek, Hugues Chaté, Yariv Kafri +3
We study the stability of the ordered phase of compressible polar flocks against the nucleation of counter-propagating droplets, using a combination of analytical theory, microscop…
When evolution realizes large deviations of fitness: from speciation to dynamical phase transitions
Sara Dal Cengio, Quentin Laurenceau, Vivien Lecomte +2
We explore the connection between evolution and large-deviation theory. To do so, we study evolutionary dynamics in which individuals experience mutations, reproduction, and select…
