摘要：

We study clustering and percolation phenomena in the Vicsek model, taken here in its capacity of prototypical model for dry aligning active matter. Our results show that the order-disorder transition is not related in any way to a percolation transition, contrary to some earlier claims. We study geometric percolation in each of the phases at play, but we mostly focus on the ordered Toner-Tu phase, where we find that the long-range correlations of density fluctuations give rise to an anisotropic percolation transition.
