Active particles under soft confinement such as droplets or vesicles present intriguing phenomena, as collective motion emerges alongside the deformation of the environment. A model is employed to systematically investigate droplet…

We propose a simple mathematical model that describes a pairing-induced motion of active and passive particles in a two-dimensional system, which is motivated by our previous paper [Ishikawa et al., Phys. Rev. E \textbf{106} (2022) 024604].…
