SUMMARY:Field theories for nonequilibrium soft matter systems - Michael te

DESCRIPTION:Field-theoretical models are a highly valuable and widely used
  tool for understanding the properties of nonequilibrium (and equilibrium)
  soft matter systems. Phase separation in active matter is perhaps the mos
 t well-known example\, but by far not the only one. In this talk\, I will 
 address a number of recent experimental observations made in nonequilibriu
 m soft matter systems that are so far not theoretically understood\, and I
  will present ongoing efforts to develop and study field-theoretical model
 s that allow to capture these observations. Specifically\, I will discuss 
 crystals with transverse and nonreciprocal interactions\, liquid-liquid ph
 ase separation and amyloid formation in cells\, spontaneous charging of sl
 iding droplets\, and quantum-mechanical active matter.
