Dynamical mean-field theory of active, self-interacting heteropolymers
Andriy Goychuk
Analytical theories of polymer dynamics typically focus on the linear response around some steady state obtained via perturbative calculations. The present study derives a dynamica…
Externally driven condensates show translation-induced polarization, directed coalescence, and anomalous diffusion in viscoelastic media
Andriy Goychuk
Phase separation into compositionally and physically distinct domains is ubiquitous in (non)living matter ranging from alloys and emulsions to biomolecular condensates in cells. Th…
Active fluctuations induce buckling of living surfaces
Matteo Ciarchi, Andriy Goychuk, Erwin Frey
Active tissues exhibit tension fluctuations that are correlated in space and time. We study a minimal overdamped surface model in which such fluctuations enter as a zero-mean, mult…
Hidden nonreciprocity as a stabilizing effective potential in active matter
Matthew Du, Andriy Goychuk, Suriyanarayanan Vaikuntanathan
Nonreciprocal interactions are known to produce distinctive dynamics in active matter. To shed light on how the stationary state of such systems is affected by breaking reciprocity…
