Physics of microswimmers--single particle motion and collective behavior: a review.
Locomotion and transport of microorganisms in fluids is an essential aspect of life. Search for food, orientation toward light, spreading of off-spring, and the formation of colonies are only possible due to locomotion. Swimming at the microscale occurs at low Reynolds numbers, where fluid friction and viscosity dominates over inertia. Here, evolution achieved propulsion mechanisms, which overc...
متن کاملTime-Dependent Ginzburg–Landau: From Single Particle to Collective Behavior
The Ginzburg–Landau theory of phase transitions is one of the most successful and elegant theories that have a very general applicability to a large variety of phenomena. Moreover, its extension into time domain has produced a wealth of interesting new predictions and applications all the way from materials science to cosmology. Here, we describe applications of time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau t...
متن کاملFluctuation-induced collective motion: a single-particle density analysis.
In a system of noisy self-propelled particles with interactions that favor directional alignment, collective motion will appear if the density of particles increases beyond a certain threshold. In this paper, we argue that such a threshold may depend also on the profiles of the perturbation in the particle directions. Specifically, we perform mean-field, linear stability, perturbative, and nume...
متن کاملThe Asymptotic Behavior of Invariant Collective Motion
Let G be a connected complex reductive group acting on a smooth algebraic variety X. Then the cotangent bundle T ∗ X on X carries a canonical symplectic structure, and the G-action induces a moment map Φ : T ∗ X → g . Consider the Hamiltonian vector fields attached to functions of the form f ◦ Φ with f ∈ C[g]. In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the associated flow (a so-called in...
متن کاملI. Collective Behavior, From Particles to Fields
The object of the first part of this course was to introduce the principles of statistical mechanics which provide a bridge between the fundamental laws of microscopic physics, and observed phenomena at macroscopic scales. Microscopic Physics is characterized by large numbers of degrees of freedom; for example, the set of positions and momenta {~ pi, ~qi}, of particles in a gas, configurations ...
