Active fluids and growing interfaces are two well-studied but very different non-equilibrium.systems. Each exhibits non-equilibrium behaviour distinct from that of their.equilibrium counterparts. Here we demonstrate a surprising connection between these two:.the ordered phase of incompressible polar active fluids in two spatial dimensions.without momentum conservation, and growing one-dimensional interfaces (that is, the.1þ1-dimensional Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation), in fact belong to the same universality.class. This universality class also includes two equilibrium systems: two-dimensional smectic.liquid crystals, and a peculiar kind of constrained two-dimensional ferromagnet.We use these.connections to show that two-dimensional incompressible flocks are robust against.fluctuations, and exhibit universal long-ranged, anisotropic spatio-temporal correlations of.those fluctuations. We also thereby determine the exact values of the anisotropy exponent z.and the roughness exponents wx,y that characterize these correlations.
