Abstract
We study a simple model of identical “swarmalators,” generalizations of phase oscillators that swarm through space. We confine the movements to a one-dimensional (1D) ring and consider distributed (nonidentical) couplings; the combination of these two effects captures an aspect of the more realistic two-dimensional swarmalator model. We discover several collective states which we describe analytically. These states imitate the behavior of vinegar eels, catalytic microswimmers, and other swarmalators which move on quasi-1D rings.
