We consider a microscopic field theoretical approach for interacting activenematic particles. With only steric interactions the self-propulsion strengthin such systems can lead to different collective behaviour, e.g., synchronizedself-spinning and collective translation. The different behaviour results fromthe delicate interplay between internal nematic structure, particle shapedeformation and particle-particle interaction. For intermediate active strengthan asymmetric shape emerges and leads to chirality and self-spinning crystals.For larger active strength the shape is symmetric and translational collectivemotion emerges. Within circular confinements, depending on the packingfraction, the self-spinning regime either stabilizes positional andorientational order or can lead to edge currents and global rotation whichdestroys the synchronized self-spinning crystalline structure.
