 abstract = {General principles of symmetry and conservation are used to construct
the hydrodynamic equations for orientationally ordered suspensions of
self-propelled particles (SPPs). Without knowledge of the microscopic
origins of the ordering or the mechanisms of self-propulsion, we are
able to make a number of striking, testable predictions for the
properties of these nonequilibrium phases of matter. These include:
novel wavelike excitations in vectorially ordered suspensions; the
absolute instability of nematic SPP suspensions at long wavelengths; the
convective instability of low-Reynolds-number vector-ordered
suspensions; and giant number fluctuations in vector-ordered SPP
suspensions. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.},
