Abstract:We investigate a population of swarmalators, a mobile version of phase oscillators that both sync in time and swarm through space. We focus on a XY-type model of identical swarmalators running on a one-dimensional ring and subject to thermal noise. We uncover four distinct collective states, some of which capture the behavior of real-world swarmalators such as vinegar eels and sperm. Among these, the most intriguing is the 'mixed state', which blends two of the other states. We present a comprehensive phase di… Show more
