Clustering and ordering in cell assemblies with generic asymmetric aligning interactions

Thibault Bertrand, Joseph d'Alessandro, Ananyo Maitra +5

Collective cell migration plays an essential role in various biological processes, such as development or cancer proliferation. While cell-cell interactions are clearly key determi…

Stable long-range uniaxial order in active fluids at two-dimensional interfaces

Ananyo Maitra

I show that two-dimensional nematic order in an active fluid film can be stable and long-ranged if exchange of particles and momentum with an ambient three-dimensional fluid is all…

Chiral active hexatics: Giant number fluctuations, waves and destruction of order

Ananyo Maitra, Martin Lenz, Raphael Voituriez

Active materials, composed of internally driven particles, have properties that are qualitatively distinct from matter at thermal equilibrium. However, the most spectacular departu…

Nonmutual torques and the unimportance of motility for long-range order in two-dimensional flocks

Lokrshi Prawar Dadhichi, Jitendra Kethapelli, Rahul Chajwa +2

As the constituent particles of a flock are polar and in a driven state, their interactions must, in general, be fore-aft asymmetric and non-reciprocal. Within a model that explici…

Active uniaxially ordered suspensions on disordered substrates

Ananyo Maitra

Multiple experiments on active systems consider oriented active suspensions on substrates or in chambers confined along one direction. The theories of polar and apolar phases in su…

Enhanced orientational ordering induced by active yet isotropic bath

Ananyo Maitra, Raphael Voituriez

Can a bath of isotropic but active particles promote ordering of anisotropic but passive particles? In this paper, we uncover a fluctuation-driven mechanism by which this is possib…
