Disordered boundaries destroy bulk phase separation in scalar active matter

We show that disordered boundaries destroy bulk phase separation in scalar active systems in dimension d<dc=3. This is in strong contrast with the equilibrium case where boundaries have no impact on the bulk of phase-separated systems. The underlying mechanism is revealed by considering a localiz...
