An Absorbing State Model with an Emergent Ising Transition
Shen Ai, Dov Levine, Paul Chaikin
We study a dynamical model of repulsive needles with centers fixed on a square lattice. Needles that overlap are active and receive a repulsive rotation ; needles with…
Active diffusing crystals in a 2D non-equilibrium system
Ashley Z. Guo, Sam Wilken, Dov Levine +1
We investigate a 2D dynamical absorbing state model of monodisperse disks, in which rich phase behavior arises from interactions consisting solely of repulsive displacements betwee…
Information and Configurational Entropy in Glassy Systems
Ittai Fraenkel, Jorge Kurchan, Dov Levine
It is often stated that if one is presented with a snapshot of the positions of the molecules of a glass and one of a liquid, one is unable to tell the difference. Here we argue in…
Defect turbulence in a dense suspension of polar, active swimmers
Navdeep Rana, Rayan Chatterjee, Sunghan Ro +3
We study the effects of inertia in dense suspensions of polar swimmers. The hydrodynamic velocity field and the polar order parameter field describe the dynamics of the suspension.…
Dynamical approach to the jamming problem
Sam Wilken, Ashley Z. Guo, Dov Levine +1
A simple dynamical model, Biased Random Organization, BRO, appears to produce configurations known as Random Close Packing (RCP) as BRO's densest critical point in dimension .…
Coupled dynamical phase transitions in driven disk packings
Akash Ghosh, Jaikumar Radhakrishnan, Paul M. Chaikin +2
Under the influence of oscillatory shear, a mono-layer of frictional granular disks exhibits two dynamical phase transitions: a transition from an initially disordered state to an…
