具有离散方向的极群:接近Vicsek模型的活动钟模型

Polar flocks with discretized directions: the active clock model approaching the Vicsek model

Swarnajit Chatterjee, Matthieu Mangeat, Heiko Rieger

摘要:

我们认为非格点二维$q$态有源时钟模型(ACM)作为描述群集的Vicsek模型(VM)的自然离散化。ACM由能够在平面中以离散的$q$等距角方向的集合移动的粒子组成,如在主动Potts模型(APM)中,具有受铁磁平衡时钟模型启发的对准相互作用。我们发现,对于少数方向,ACM的植绒转变具有与APM相同的现象,包括宏观相分离和重取向转变。对于更大数量的方向,ACM中的植绒转变变得等同于VM中的植绒转变,并且显示微相分离和仅横向带,即没有再取向转变。伴随地,ACM的$q\to\infty$极限的转变,即活动XY模型(AXYM),也与VM处于相同的普适性类中。我们还构建了一个粗粒度的流体动力学描述的ACM和AXYM类似的VM。

英文摘要:

We consider the off-lattice two-dimensional $q$-state active clock model (ACM) as a natural discretization of the Vicsek model (VM) describing flocking. The ACM consists of particles able to move in the plane in a discrete set of $q$ equidistant angular directions, as in the active Potts model (APM), with an alignment interaction inspired by the ferromagnetic equilibrium clock model. We find that for a small number of directions, the flocking transition of the ACM has the same phenomenology as the APM, including macrophase separation and reorientation transition. For a larger number of directions, the flocking transition in the ACM becomes equivalent to the one of the VM and displays microphase separation and only transverse bands, i.e. no re-orientation transition. Concomitantly also the transition of the $q\to\infty$ limit of the ACM, the active XY model (AXYM), is in the same universality class as the VM. We also construct a coarse-grained hydrodynamic description for the ACM and AXYM akin to the VM.
