The study of active soft matter has developed into one of the most rapidly growing areas of
physics. Field theories, which can be developed either via phenomenological …

Disordered hyperuniform structures are an exotic state of matter having suppressed density
fluctuations at large length-scale similar to perfect crystals and quasicrystals but without any …

Chiral active matter comprises particles which can self-propel and self-rotate. Examples
range from sperm cells and bacteria near walls to autophoretic L-shaped colloids. In this …

We investigate the effect of rotational inertia on the collective phenomena of underdamped
active systems and show that the increase of the moment of inertia of each particle favors …

Chiral active matter is enjoying a rapid increase of interest, spurred by the rich variety of
asymmetries that can be attained in, eg, the shape or self-propulsion mechanism of active …

By now active Brownian motion is a well-established model to describe the motion of
mesoscopic self-propelled particles in a Newtonian fluid. On the basis of the generalized …

We study the dynamics of clusters of active Brownian disks generated by motility-induced
phase separation, by applying an algorithm that we devised to track cluster trajectories. We …

Some nonequilibrium systems exhibit anomalous suppression of the large-scale density
fluctuations, so-called hyperuniformity. Recently, hyperuniformity was found numerically in a …

We investigate the interplay between chirality and confinement induced by the presence of
an external potential. For potentials having radial symmetry, the circular character of the …

We present a comprehensive study of a model system of repulsive self-propelled disks in
two dimensions with ferromagnetic and nematic velocity alignment interactions. We …
