We study flocking in one dimension, introducing a lattice model in which particles can move either left or right. We find that the model exhibits a continuous nonequilibrium phase transition from a condensed phase, in which a single `flock'…
We study the relaxation of force distributions in the q-model, assuming a uniform q-distribution. We show that "diffusion of correlations" makes this relaxation very slow. On a d-dimensional lattice, the asymptotic state is approached as a…
