Abstract

Active matter has been widely studied in recent years because of its rich phenomenology, whose mathematical understanding is still partial. We present some results, based on [8, 17] linking microscopic lattice gases to their macroscopic limit, and explore how the mathematical state of the art allows to derive from various types of microscopic dynamics their hydrodynamic limit. We present some of the crucial aspects of this theory when applied to weakly asymmetric active models. We comment on the speci fic challenges one should consider when designing an active lattice gas, and in particular underline math- ematical and phenomenological differences between gradient and non-gradient models. Our purpose is to provide the physics community, as well as member of the mathematical community not specialized in the mathematical derivation of scaling limits of lattice gases, some key elements in de ning microscopic models and deriving their hydrodynamic limit.
