Seminar: Luke Davis (U Edinburgh): Stochastic geometry of active matter
Centre for Complex Systems

For equilibrium hard spheres the stochastic geometry of the insertion space, the room to accommodate another sphere, relates exactly to the equation of state. We begin to extend this idea to active matter, analyzing insertion space for repulsive...
