Description
This talk will discuss recent results pertaining to 2D active nematics in flat space. We will focus on defect number fluctuations and how they relate to the system structure and overall correlations. Contrary to what is often found in active matter, we do not observe giant number fluctuations. Instead, we find that the system of defects exhibits hyperuniformity.
