We study the critical behaviour of a model with non-dissipative couplings aimed at describing the collective behaviour of natural swarms, using the dynamical renormalization group. At one loop, we find a crossover between a conservative yet…
Collective behaviour in biological systems pitches us against theoretical challenges way beyond the borders of ordinary statistical physics. The lack of concepts like scaling and renormalization is particularly grievous, as it forces us to…
Collective biological systems display power laws for macroscopic quantities and are fertile probing grounds for statistical physics. Besides power laws, natural insect swarms present strong scale-free correlations, suggesting closeness to…
