RACAH COLLOQUIUM Weizmann Institute of ScienceOrganizer Faculty of PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Collectively carrying a large load requires a high degree of...» Collectively carrying a large load requires a high degree of coordination and is, in fact, extremely rare outside humans and ants. We show that cooperative transport by Paratrechina longicornis ants is indeed non-trivial and exhibits two seemingly contradicting traits. On the one hand, ants conform to the collective motion of the group as a whole thus avoiding inefficient conflicts ; on the other hand, the system maintains sensitivity to a single informed leader. By comparing our data with a minimal theoretical model, we find that decision making at the level of the single ant is balanced at an intermediate level between independence and compliance. Macroscopically, this poises the collective motion at a transition region between random walk and ballistic motion. We demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, that this region is near optimal in terms of the response to the steering by a single leader. Our findings suggest that efficient group level processes can arise from transient amplification of individual-based knowledge. -

WUSOrganizer Department of Physics of Complex SystemsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about An inverse cascade in the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equa...» An inverse cascade in the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in a restricted periodic domain creates a large-scale condensate—a pair of system-size vortices. We perform extensive numerical simulations of this system and develop a theory based upon the momentum and energy balance between the small-scale turbulent fluctuations and the large-scale coherent vortices. We show that the vortices have a universal internal structure that is independent of the type of small-scale dissipation, small-scale forcing and boundary conditions. The theory not only predicts the radial power-law profile but also the amplitude of the vortices. -
