Thermodynamic constraints and exact scaling exponents of flocking matter

We use advances in the formalism of boost agnostic passive fluids to constrain transport in polar active fluids, which are subsequently described by the Toner-Tu equations. Acknowledging that the system fundamentally breaks boost symmetry we compel what were previously entirely phenomenological parameters in the Toner-Tu model to satisfy precise relationships among themselves. Consequently, we propose a thermodynamic argument to determine the exact scalings of the transport coefficients under dynamical renormalisation group flow. These scalings perfectly agree with the results of recent state-of-the-art numerical simulation and experiments

On the Renormalization Group Flow of Active Flocks
All-order RG analysis of Toner-Tu flocks in 2D isotropic diffusion yields a line of fixed points and marginal vertex instability at Δ/κ = 2π separating Gaussian and symmetry-protected interacting gapless phases with o...
