We investigate the steady-state and dynamical properties of a reciprocal many-body system consisting of self-propelled active particles with local alignment interactions that exists within a fan-shaped neighborhood of each particle. We find…

The formation of dynamical patterns is one of the most striking features of nonequilibrium physical systems. Recent work has shown that such patterns arise generically from forces that violate Newton's third law, known as nonreciprocal…

Complex systems out of equilibrium often experience intermittent oscillations between quiescent and highly dynamic states. The type of intermittency depends on how energy is pumped into the system, and how it is dissipated. While…

In active matter, the lack of momentum conservation makes non-reciprocal interactions the rule rather than the exception. They lead to a rich set of emerging behaviors that are hard to account for and to predict starting from the…

We examine a non-reciprocally coupled dynamical model of a mixture of two diffusing species. We demonstrate that nonreciprocity, which is encoded in the model via antagonistic cross diffusivities, provides a generic mechanism for the…

We present an overdamped continuum description of oriented active solids in which interactions respect the symmetries of space but do not obey the principle of action and reaction. Taking position and orientation as kinematic variables, we…

Many models of flocking involve alignment rules based on the mean orientation of neighboring particles, which we show introduces microscopic non-reciprocal interactions. In the absence of this microscopic non-reciprocity an exceptional…
