Abstract

Lecture notes from the Les Houches summer school on Active Matter and Non-Equilibrium Statistical Physics 2018. The notes contain a pedagogical introduction to the statistics of forces in dry active matter. In particular, the physics behind the existence of an equation of state, or lack thereof, is discussed along with its implications.
