Collective motion in a sheet of microswimmers

Self-propelled particles such as bacteria or algae swimming through a fluid are non-equilibrium systems where particle motility breaks microscopic detailed balance, often resulting in large-scale collective motion. Previous theoretical work has identified ...

Backtracking Dynamical Cavity Method

Lenka Zdeborová, Freya Behrens, Barbora Hudcová

The cavity method is one of the cornerstones of the statistical physics of disordered systems such as spin glasses and other complex systems. It is able to analytically and asymptotically exactly describe the equilibrium properties of a broad range of mode ...

Hydrodynamic synchronization and clustering in ratcheting colloidal matter

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Ratchet transport systems are widespread in physics and biology; however, the effect of the dispersing medium in the collective dynamics of these out-of-equilibrium systems has been often overlooked. We show that, in a traveling wave magnetic ratchet, long ...

A Functional Perspective on Information Measures

Amedeo Roberto Esposito

Since the birth of Information Theory, researchers have defined and exploited various information measures, as well as endowed them with operational meanings. Some were born as a "solution to a problem", like Shannon's Entropy and Mutual Information. Other ...

Fluctuation-dissipation relations in the absence of detailed balance: formalism and applications to active matter

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Sara Dal Cengio

We present a comprehensive study about the relationship between the way detailed balance is broken in non-equilibrium systems and the resulting violations of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Starting from stochastic dynamics with both odd and even vari ...

Dissipation-driven selection of states in non-equilibrium chemical networks

Paolo De Los Rios, Daniel Maria Busiello, Shiling Liang, Francesco Piazza

Life has most likely originated as a consequence of processes taking place in non-equilibrium conditions (e.g. in the proximity of deep-sea thermal vents) selecting states of matter that would have been otherwise unfavorable at equilibrium. Here we present ...

Mutual Information Disentangles Interactions from Changing Environments

Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti

Real-world systems are characterized by complex interactions of their internal degrees of freedom, while living in ever-changing environments whose net effect is to act as additional couplings. Here, we introduce a paradigmatic interacting model in a switc ...

Nonlinear Transient Stability Analysis of Phased-Locked Loop Based Grid-Following Voltage Source Converters Using Lyapunov’s Direct Method

Alireza Karimi, Behrooz Bahrani

In this paper, using Lyapunov’s stability theorem, the transient stability conditions for a grid-following Voltage Source Converter (VSC) are found. These conditions take into account both the grid specifications and the VSC’s dynamics. The derived conditi ...

Membraneless organelles: phasing out of equilibrium

Paolo De Los Rios

Over the past years, liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has emerged as a ubiquitous principle of cellular organization implicated in many biological processes ranging from gene expression to cell division. The formation of biological condensates, like t ...

Self-Assembly of Microscopic Rods Due to Depletion Interaction

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In this article, using numerical simulations we investigate the self-assembly of rod-like particles in suspension due to depletion forces which naturally emerge due to the presence of smaller spherical depletant particles. We characterize the type of clust ...
