Thermodynamics of Active Field Theories: Energetic Cost of Coupling to Reservoirs

The hallmark of active matter is the autonomous directed motion of its microscopic constituents driven by consumption of energy resources. This motion leads to the emergence of large-scale dynamics and structures without any equilibrium equivalent. Though active field theories offer a useful hydrody...
