title: Collective oscillations, bicluster motion, and dynamical order in a system of globally coupled rotors with repulsive interactions.
abstract: We perform extensive numerical simulations on a system of globally coupled rotors with repulsive interactions. By controlling systematically initial conditions, we determine the criterion for the emergence of bicluster motion. It is found that stable bicluster motion emerges at low temperatures, where the initial kinetic energy accounts for less than about 60% of the total energy. Also observed are collective oscillations of the potential energy and the magnetization, which are persistent. With appropriately chosen initial conditions, the system exhibits characteristic motion where biclusters keep forming and disappearing continually. It is argued that such bicluster motion is closely related to the dynamical order suggested recently.
