abstract
Signatures of collectivity, including azimuthally anisotropic and radial flow as well as characteristic hadrochemical dependencies, have been observed since long in (ultra)relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. They underpin the interpretation of these collision systems in terms of QGP formation and close-to-perfect fluidity. Remarkably, however, essentially all these signatures of collectivity have been identified within the last decade in collision systems as small as pp and p-Pb, where collective phenomena had been assumed to be absent traditionally. Precursor phenomena may have been found even in ep and $e^+e^-$ collisions. This article provides a complete review of all data on small system collectivity. It reviews model simulations of these data where available. However, in the absence of a phenomenologically fully satisfactory description of collectivity across all system sizes, we focus in particular on the theoretical basis of all dynamical frameworks of collectivity invoked in heavy ion collisions, and their expected scaling with system size. Our discussion clarifies to what extent all dynamical explanations are challenged by the available data.

Evidence of nuclear geometry-driven anisotropic flow in OO and Ne$-$Ne collisions at $\mathbf{\sqrt{{\textit s}_{\rm\mathbf {NN}}}}$ = 5.36 TeV
First measurements of elliptic and triangular flow in OO and Ne-Ne collisions show geometry-driven collectivity consistent with hydrodynamic predictions.

Relativistic Dispersion Spectra across Lorentz boosted frames: Spurious modes and the enigma of causality
Rest-frame dispersion modes can be mapped into Lorentz-boosted frames through a parametric re-parametrization; the boost-generated 'spurious' roots appear exactly when the mode count is not conserved, which the author...

Finite $V_{\rm 2\Delta}$ puzzle in low-multiplicity pp collisions from ultra-long-range azimuthal correlations in the string-shoving model
String-shoving PYTHIA8 simulations generate the strongest ultra-long-range azimuthal correlations in low-MPI pp events; the signal decreases with Nch and is biased by charged-multiplicity event selection.

Predictions for $R_{AA}$ in 5.36 TeV C+C, O+O, and Ne+Ne collisions at the LHC
LHC light-ion R_AA measurements could discriminate between scenarios with and without mini-QGP formation in pp collisions, with the largest difference predicted for carbon.

Flow in small systems in the EPOS4 approach for high-energy scatterings
In the EPOS4 framework, a symmetric initial parton distribution cannot reproduce the flat elliptic flow versus multiplicity seen in high-multiplicity pp collisions, whereas a two-center 'dipole' proton shape can.

Nuclear Physics Confronts Relativistic Collisions Of Isobars
RHIC isobar data are explained by different shapes of 96Ru and 96Zr, with 96Zr showing a large octupole deformation, so nuclear structure uncertainty, not the magnetic field, dominates the observed ratios.

Energy loss baseline for light hadrons in oxygen-oxygen collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}=5.36\,\text{TeV}$
The no-quenching baseline for R_AA in OO collisions at 5.36 TeV is predicted to be under control to about 5% for hadron transverse momenta from 20 to 70 GeV.
