Summary

Boundaries, inclusions and disorder in active matter

Summary

I. Pressure in equilibrium and active matter: Pressure dependence on boundary properties

II. Boundary asymmetry and curvature: Ratchet forces and line tension

III. Inclusions: The long reach of inclusions in disturbing active fluids

IV. Disorder: Long-range correlations and persistent currents

V. Phase separation: Destruction of bulk phase separation by disorder

VI. Boundary disorder: Boundary disorder disrupts bulk order
