Order-disorder transitions are widely explored in various vortex structures in condensed matter physics, i.e., in the type-II superconductors and Bose-Einstein condensates. In this study, we have investigated the ordering of the polar…

How do topological defects affect the degree of order in active matter? To answer this question we investigate an agent-based model of self-propelled particles, which accounts for polar alignment and short-ranged repulsive interactions. For…
