A gas-liquid type of phase transition is found based on the particle dynamics on radius-$R$ circle in which the coordinate appears as the angle-variable of 1D XY-model. Due to the specific appearance of compact-space radius (volume) in the…

A model of self-driven particles similar to the Vicsek model [Phys. Rev. Lett. 75 (1995) 1226] but with metric-free interactions is studied by means of a novel Enskog-type kinetic theory. In this model, N particles of constant speed v0 try…
