Abstract
We study a simple model of identical swarmalators, generalizations of phases oscillators that swarm through space. We confine the movements to a one-dimensional (1D) ring and consider distributed (non-identical) couplings; the combination of these two effects captures an aspect of the more realistic 2D swarmalator model \cite{o2017oscillators}. We find new collective states as well as generalizations of previously reported ones which we describe analytically. These states imitate the behavior of vinegar eels, catalytic microswimmers, and other swarmalators which move on quasi-1D rings.
