Scale-free chaos in the 2D harmonically confined Vicsek model
R. González-Albaladejo, L. L. Bonilla
Animal motion and flocking are ubiquitous nonequilibrium phenomena that are often studied within active matter. In examples such as insect swarms, macroscopic quantities exhibit po…

Power laws of natural swarms are fingerprints of an extended critical region
R. González-Albaladejo, L. L. Bonilla
Collective biological systems display power laws for macroscopic quantities and are fertile probing grounds for statistical physics. Besides power laws, natural insect swarms prese…

Mean field theory of chaotic insect swarms
R. González-Albaladejo, L. L. Bonilla
The harmonically confined Vicsek model displays qualitative and quantitative features observed in natural insect swarms. It exhibits a scale free transition between single and mult…
