The well-known Cucker-Smale model is a macroscopic system reflecting flocking, i.e. the alignment of velocities in a group of autonomous agents having mutual interactions. In the present paper, we consider the mean-field limit of that…
Collective motion - or flocking - is an emergent phenomena that underlies many biological processes of relevance, from cellular migrations to animal groups movement. In this work, we derive scaling relations for the fluctuations of the mean…
We consider the "Touch and Stop" cluster growth percolation (CGP) model on the two dimensional square lattice. A key-parameter in the model is the fraction p of occupied "seed" sites that act as nucleation centers from which a particular…
A simple model of the two dimensional collective motion of a group of mobile agents have been studied. Like birds, these agents travel in open free space where each of them interacts with the first $n$ neighbors determined by the…
An exact solution is introduced for one dimensional space-fractional Edwards-Wilkinson equation. It is shown that the roughness obeys the Family-Viscek dynamic scaling form and the scaling exponents is derived. It is seen that the scaling…
We present a comprehensive study of Vicsek-style self-propelled particle models in two and three space dimensions. The onset of collective motion in such stochastic models with only local alignment interactions is studied in detail and…
We present a unifying, consistent, finite-size-scaling picture for percolation theory bringing it into the framework of a general, renormalization-group-based, scaling scheme for systems above their upper critical dimensions $d_c$.…
Random tensor models can be used as combinatorial devices to generate Euclidean dynamical triangulations. A physical continuum limit of dynamical triangulations requires a suitable generalization of the double-scaling limit of random…
We present a Cucker-Smale (C-S) type flocking model on a sphere. We study velocity alignment on a sphere and prove the emergence of flocking for the proposed model. Our model includes three new terms: a centripetal force, multi-agent…
We study a new flocking model which has the versatility to capture the physically realistic qualitative behavior of the Motsch-Tadmor model, while also retaining the entropy law, which lends to a similar 1D global well-posedness analysis to…
We study the crossover between equilibrium and off-equilibrium dynamical universality classes in the Vicsek model near its ordering transition. Starting from the incompressible hydrodynamic theory of Chen et al \cite{chen2015critical}, we…
We show that even weak nonreciprocal alignment leads to large-scale structure formation in flocking mixtures. By combining numerical simulations of a binary Vicsek model and the analysis of coarse-grained continuum equations, we demonstrate…
In this note we reveal new classes of solutions to hydrodynamic Euler alignment systems governing collective behavior of flocks. The solutions describe unidirectional parallel motion of agents, and are globally well-posed in…
We propose a renormalization scheme that can be used as a reliable method to identify universality classes of absorbing phase transitions. Following the spirit of Wilson's block-spin renormalization group, the lattice is divided into…
Although scaling phenomena have long been documented in crystalline plasticity, the universality class has been difficult to identify due to the rarity of avalanche events, which require large system sizes and long times in order to…
Although well described by mean-field theory in the thermodynamic limit, scaling has long been puzzling for finite systems in high dimensions. This raised questions about the efficacy of the renormalization group and foundational concepts…
We consider the two-species Vicsek model (TSVM) consisting of two kinds of self-propelled particles, A and B, that tend to align with particles from the same species and to antialign with the other. The model shows a flocking transition…
When matter undergoes a continuous phase transition on a finite timescale, the Kibble-Zurek mechanism predicts universal scaling behavior with respect to structure formation. The scaling is dependent on the universality class and is…
The influence of a random environment on the dynamics of a fluctuating rough surface is investigated using a field theoretic renormalization group. The environment motion is modelled by the stochastic Navier--Stokes equation, which includes…
The study of physics at the Planck scale has garnered significant attention due to its implications for understanding the fundamental nature of the universe. At the Planck scale, quantum fluctuations challenge the classical notion of…
