Velocity and speed correlations in Hamiltonian flocks

M Casiulis, M Tarzia, LF Cugliandolo, O Dauchot - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We study a 2D Hamiltonian fluid made of particles carrying spins coupled to their velocities.
At low temperatures and intermediate densities, this conservative system exhibits phase …

Emergent synchronization and flocking in purely repulsive self-navigating particles

M Casiulis, D Levine - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
Inspired by groups of animals and robots, we study the collective dynamics of large numbers
of active particles, each one trying to get to its own randomly placed target, while avoiding …

Thermostatting of active Hamiltonian systems via symplectic algorithms

A Bhattacharya, J Horbach, S Karmakar - Physical Review E, 2025 - APS
We consider a class of nonstandard, two-dimensional Hamiltonian models that may show
features of active particle dynamics, and therefore, we refer to these models as active …

Bridging hexatic and tetratic phases in binary mixtures through near critical point fluctuations

BP Prajwal, FA Escobedo - Physical Review Materials, 2021 - APS
Monte Carlo simulations were used to study the assembly of model binary mixtures whose
pure components have either distinct or similar crystal order symmetry. Specifically, we …

[HTML][HTML] The BKT transition and its dynamics in a spin fluid

T Bissinger, M Fuchs - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
We study the effect of particle mobility on phase transitions in a spin fluid in two dimensions.
The presence of a phase transition of the BKT universality class is shown in an off-lattice …

Order by disorder: saving collective motion from topological defects in a conservative model

M Casiulis, M Tarzia, LF Cugliandolo… - Journal of Statistical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Using analytic and numerical methods, we study a 2d Hamiltonian model of interacting
particles carrying ferro-magnetically coupled continuous spins which are also locally …

The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Transition in a Mobile XY Model

T Bissinger - 2023 - kops.uni-konstanz.de
The past years saw a rising interest in classical magnets with two-dimensional unit spins
moving in two spatial dimensions. That interest is partially due to the fact that such mobile …

The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition of mobile Hamiltonian polar particles

M Höfler - 2019 - kops.uni-konstanz.de
The phase of matter is the state of a system in a region on a macroscopic scale. At this
macroscopic scale, in equilibrium, physical properties of the system are homogeneous …

The lattice Hamiltonian modeling for active nematic liquid crystals with disclinations and oriented surfaces

LV Elnikova, VV Belyaev - Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the system of colloid active nematic liquid crystals evolving with transformation of
the structure of surface linear topological defects. We estimate numerically the SO (2) …

Study of a non-Galilean Hamiltonian liquid: collective motion without activity

M Casiulis - 2019 - theses.hal.science
Collective motion, the spontaneous ordering of the velocities across a macroscopic system,
is a hallmark of living systems like flocks of birds. It is captured by models of self-propelled …
