Recent work has shown that such patterns\u0000arise generically from forces that violate Newton's third law, known as\u0000non-reciprocal interactions. These non-equilibrium phenomena are challenging\u0000for modern theories. Here, we introduce a model mixture of active\u0000(self-propelled) and passive (diffusive) particles with non-reciprocal\u0000effective interactions, which is amenable to exact mathematical analysis. We\u0000exploit state-of-the-art methods to derive exact hydrodynamic equations for the\u0000particle densities. We study the resulting collective behavior, including the\u0000linear stability of homogeneous states and phase coexistence in large systems.\u0000This reveals a novel phase diagram with the spinodal associated with active\u0000phase separation protruding through the associated binodal, heralding the\u0000emergence of dynamical steady states. We analyze these states in the\u0000thermodynamic limit of large system size, showing, for example, that sharp\u0000interfaces may travel at finite velocities, but traveling phase-separated\u0000states are forbidden. The model's mathematical tractability enables precise new\u0000conclusions beyond those available by numerical simulation of particle models\u0000or field theories.","PeriodicalId":501520,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Statistical Mechanics","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141943343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
