Effective interactions
Newton’s third law holds for the effective interactions in equilibrium.

Pseudo-equilibrium
A system of particles with nonreciprocal interactions, being essentially nonequilibrium, can nevertheless be exactly described in terms of equilibrium statistical mechanics. A mixture of two fluids can be in detailed dynamic equilibrium, when each fluid has its own temperature.

General case of non-reciprocity
Isotropic pair interactions can always be presented as follows:
Constant non-reciprocity is recovered when Fn(r)/Fr(r) → Δ

Asymptotic temperature ratio (no damping)
All nonreciprocal systems have a universal asymptotic behavior:
The constants are determined by the effective non-reciprocity Δeff and disparity ε:
Constant non-reciprocity: Fn(r)/Fr(r) → Δ, Δeff → Δ, ε → 0

Numerical example
Elastic hard spheres (Hertzian interactions):
Δeff = 0.57, ε = 0.082
TA/TB |t→∞ ≈ 3.1
Weak finite damping leads to a steady state, while TA/TB does not (practically) change.

Role of damping Dynamics of individual particles in the presence of damping is governed by:
A weak-damping regime is defined as ν << νcoll : the relevant collision frequency νcoll should be much smaller than the damping rate ν.

The temperature ratio is not affected!

Conclusions • The action-reaction symmetry breaking makes systems of interacting
particles essentially nonequilibrium. However, for a constant non-reciprocity (Δ = const) such systems can be exactly mapped on Hamiltonian systems and, hence, be described with the equilibrium statistical mechanics.
• A mixture of particles in this case reaches detailed dynamic equilibrium, when each species has its own temperature.
• For a general case, Δ(r), the system is no longer in equilibrium. However, the temperature ratio tends to a universal constant value.
• A weak damping does not (practically) affect the results.
• The principal theoretical predictions have been verified in experiments with 2D binary complex plasmas.

Outlook • Brownian dynamics for nonreciprocal interactions
In a system with the fully damped dynamics, the kinetic temperatures of all species are the same. However, one can show that the dynamics with nonreciprocal interactions is equivalent to the reciprocal dynamics with the renormalized thermostat temperatures: This leads to a rich variety of self-organization phenomena, such as dynamical clustering (active quasi-particles), pattern formation (quasi-nematic phases), phase separation, etc.

Outlook • “Nearly Hamiltonian” systems In a general case of non-reciprocity with Δ(r), a system reaches a
(nonequilibrium) steady state. The temperature ratio is characterized by the non-reciprocity Δeff and disparity ε. When ε <<1, the ratio tends to
Question: How “far” are such systems from a pseudo-Hamiltonian
system with Δ = Δeff ? What are the signatures of deviation from the pseudo-equilibrium ?

Effect of weak damping: General non-reciprocity
The temperature ratio in the presence of damping, TA/TB = τν, is given by:
When νΑ=νΒ, the temperature ratio is equal to the undamped value τ.
