Short-Time Dynamics in Active Systems: The Vicsek Model

Explore the short-time dynamics in active systems through a detailed examination of the Vicsek model in this 30-minute conference talk by M. Leticia Puzzo from Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina. Presented at the II Brazilian Workshop on Soft Matter (April 7-11, 2025) organized by ICTP-SAIFR, this lecture delves into the fundamental properties and behaviors of active matter systems. Learn about the mathematical framework, phase transitions, and emergent collective behaviors that characterize the Vicsek model, which has become a cornerstone in understanding self-propelled particle systems. The presentation offers valuable insights for researchers and students interested in statistical physics, complex systems, and biological collective phenomena.
