Customarily, crystalline solids are defined to be {\em rigid} since they resist changes of shape determined by their boundaries. However, rigid solids cannot exist in the thermodynamic limit where boundaries become irrelevant. Particles in…
The helical magnetorotational instability of the magnetized Taylor-Couette flow is studied numerically in a finite cylinder. A distant upstream insulating boundary is shown to stabilize the convective instability entirely while reducing the…
An Ott-Antonsen reduced $M$-population of Kuramoto-Sakaguchi oscillators is investigated, focusing on the influence of the phase-lag parameter $\alpha$ on the collective dynamics. For oscillator populations coupled on a ring, we obtained a…
We apply density functional theory to study the influence of polydispersity on the stability of columnar, smectic and solid ordering in the solutions of rodlike macromolecules. For sufficiently large length polydispersity (standard…
This paper deals with the Toner-Tu (TT) model, which is a hydrodynamic model describing the collective motion of numerous self-propelled agents. We analytically study the global-in-time well-posedness of the TT model near the steady-state…
Motivated by the problem of robustness to deformations of the input for deep convolutional neural networks, we identify signal classes which are inherently stable to irregular deformations induced by distortion fields $\tau\in…
We consider theories with time-dependent Hamiltonians which alternate between being bounded and unbounded from below. For appropriate frequencies dynamical stabilization can occur rendering the effective potential of the system stable. We…
We show that incompressible polar active fluids can exhibit an ordered, coherently moving phase even in the presence of quenched disorder in two dimensions. Unlike such active fluids with annealed (i.e., time-dependent) disorder only, which…
There are rich emergent phase behaviors in non-equilibrium active systems. Flocking and clustering are two representative dynamic phases. The relationship between these two phases is still unclear. In the paper, we numerically investigate…
Based on static and dynamical density functional theory, a phase-field-crystal model is derived which involves both the translational density and the orientational degree of ordering as well as a local director field. The model exhibits…
We derive the mean-field theory of disordered block-copolymers composed of two monomeric species, combining Edwards' functional method with the replica technique of disordered systems. In the absence of disorder we recover the canonical…
We study the Stokes-transport system in a two-dimensional channel with horizontally moving boundaries, which serves as a reduced model for oceanography and sedimentation. The density is transported by the velocity field, satisfying the…
Symmetries and conservation laws associated with the ideal Einstein-Euler system, for stationary and axisymmetric stars, can be utilized to define a set of flow constants. These quantities are conserved along flow lines in the sense that…
To elucidate mechanisms of mesoscopic turbulence exhibited by active particles, we experimentally study turbulent states of non-living self-propelled particles. We realize an experimental system with dense suspensions of asymmetrical…
We investigate the dynamics of a dilute suspension of hydrodynamically interacting motile or immotile stress-generating swimmers or particles as they invade a surrounding viscous fluid. Colonies of aligned pusher particles are shown to…
Traveling oscillating fronts (TOFs) are specific waves of the form $U_\star (x,t) = e^{-i \omega t} V_\star(x - ct)$ with a profile $V_{\star}$ which decays at $- \infty$ but approaches a nonzero limit at $+\infty$. TOFs usually appear in…
When interacting motile units self-organize into flocks, they realize one of the most robust ordered state found in nature. However, after twenty five years of intense research, the very mechanism controlling the ordering dynamics of both…
Stability of Yang-Mills fields system in the background field is investigated basing on Toda criterion, Poincare sections and the values of the maximal Lyapunov exponents. The existence of the region of regular motion at low densities of…
Combining the self-consistent theory of localization and the dynamical mean-field theory, we present a theoretical approach capable of describing both self-trapping of charge carriers during the process of polaron formation and…
As the constituent particles of a flock are polar and in a driven state, their interactions must, in general, be fore-aft asymmetric and non-reciprocal. Within a model that explicitly retains the classical spin angular momentum field of the…
