@article{ISI:000499991300012, abstract = {We present a complete analysis of the linearized dynamics of active solids with uniaxial orientational order, taking into account a hitherto overlooked consequence of rotation invariance. Our predictions include a purely active response of two-dimensional orientationally ordered solids to shear, the possibility of stable active solids with quasi-long-range order in two dimensions and long-range order in three dimensions, generic instability of the solid for one sign of active forcing, and the instability of the uniaxially ordered phase in momentum-conserved systems for large active forcing irrespective of its sign.}, article-number = {238001}, author = {Maitra, Ananyo and Ramaswamy, Sriram}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.123.238001}, eissn = {1079-7114}, issn = {0031-9007}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS}, month = {DEC 2}, number = {23}, orcid-numbers = {Maitra, Ananyo/0000-0003-3701-6981}, times-cited = {3}, title = {Oriented Active Solids}, unique-id = {ISI:000499991300012}, volume = {123}, year = {2019} }
