Evidence of fluctuation-induced first-order phase transition in active matter
We investigate the effects of density fluctuations on the near-ordering phase of a flock by studying the Malthusian Toner–Tu theory. Because of the birth/death process, characteristic of this Malthusian model, density fluctuations are partially suppressed. We show that unlike its incompressible coun...
