 abstract = {We construct a hydrodynamic theory of noisy, apolar active smectics in
bulk suspension or on a substrate. Unlike purely orientationally ordered
active fluids, active apolar smectics can be dynamically stable in
Stokesian bulk suspensions. Smectic order in these systems is quasilong
ranged in dimension d = 2 and long ranged in d = 3. We predict reentrant
Kosterlitz-Thouless melting to an active nematic in our simplest model
in d = 2, a nonzero second-sound speed parallel to the layers in bulk
suspensions, and that there are no giant number fluctuations in either
case. We also briefly discuss possible instabilities in these systems.
