Enhancing (quasi-) long-range order in a two-dimensional driven crystal

R Maire, A Plati - arXiv preprint arXiv:2405.05621, 2024 - arxiv.org
It has been recently shown that 2D systems can exhibit crystalline phases with long-range
translational order showcasing a striking violation of the Hohenberg-Mermin-Wagner (HMW) …

Long-range order in two-dimensional systems with fluctuating active stresses

YE Keta, S Henkes - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.14840, 2024 - arxiv.org
In two-dimensional tissues, such as developing germ layers, pair-wise forces (or active
stresses) arise from the contractile activity of the cytoskeleton, with dissipation provided by …
