Generalized thermodynamics of motility-induced phase separation: phase equilibria, Laplace pressure, and change of ensembles

Motility-induced phase separation leads to cohesive active matter in the absence of cohesive forces. We present, extend and illustrate a recent generalized thermodynamic formalism which accounts for its binodal curve. Using this formalism, we identify both a generalized surface tension, that control...
