Description

In active materials energy is injected at the scale of individual units, instead of at the boundaries as in sheared materials, and the motion is not governed by a thermal bath. At low and intermediate densities, broken time-reversal invariance can lead to interesting and well-studied phenomena like giant number fluctuations and motility-induced phase separation. In contrast, at high densities such macroscopic density fluctuations are suppressed, and the structure of the material is very similar to a disordered solid, while the dynamics exhibit interesting flows with non-trivial features such as long-range spatial correlations in the velocity field, intermittency, and avalanche dynamics.Inthe first lecture, I will discuss several frameworks that have been developed to understand the origin of long-range spatial correlations in the particle velocities/displacements [1,2]. In the second lecture, I will discuss intermittency, avalanches, and yielding in dense active matter, including recent work highlighting a direct link between active matter and sheared systems in the limit of infinite persistence [3,4].
