Active Ising Models of Flocking: A Field-Theoretic Approach

Mattia Scandolo, Johannes Pausch, Michael E. Cates

Using an approach based on Doi-Peliti field theory, we study several different Active Ising Models (AIMs), in each of which collective motion (flocking) of self-propelled particles…

Active-passive mixtures with bulk loading: a minimal active engine in one dimension

Jean-François Derivaux, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates

We study a one-dimensional mixture of active (run-and-tumble) particles and passive (Brownian) particles, with single-file constraint, in a sawtooth potential. The active particles…

Two-dimensional crystals far from equilibrium

Leonardo Galliano, Michael E. Cates, Ludovic Berthier

When driven by nonequilibrium fluctuations, particle systems may display phase transitions and physical behaviour with no equilibrium counterpart. We study a two-dimensional partic…

Towards a liquid-state theory for active matter

Yuting Irene Li, Rosalba Garcia-Millan, Michael E. Cates +1

In equilibrium, the collective behaviour of particles interacting via steep, short-ranged potentials is well captured by the virial expansion of the free energy at low density. Her…

Tricritical behavior in dynamical phase transitions

Tal Agranov, Michael E. Cates, Robert L. Jack

We identify a new scenario for dynamical phase transitions associated with time-integrated observables occurring in diffusive systems described by the macroscopic fluctuation theor…

Rheology of dense suspensions under shear rotation

Frédéric Blanc, François Peters, Jurriaan J. J. Gillissen +4

Dense non-Brownian suspensions exhibit a spectacular and abrupt drop in viscosity under change of shear direction, as revealed by shear inversions (reversals) or orthogonal superpo…
