Explore active matter models and synchronization phenomena in this 48-minute lecture by Hugues Chate from PCS Institute for Basic Science. Gain insights into 2D dry aligning active matter, focusing on polar particles with ferromagnetic alignment in the Vicsek model. Examine the effects of chirality, Kuramoto-type disorder, and quenched spatial disorder on long-range orientational order and phase synchronization. Delve into topics such as liquid phases, Gaussian distributions, and hydrodynamic theory. Understand the latest developments in the field, referencing key publications and concluding with a summary and Q&A session.
