Double phase transition of the Ising model in core-periphery networks

Abstract
We study the phase transition of the Ising model in networks with core-periphery structures. By Monte Carlo simulations, we show that prior to the order-disorder phase transition the system organizes into an inhomogeneous intermediate phase in which core nodes are much more ordered than peripheral nodes. Interestingly, the susceptibility shows double peaks at two distinct temperatures. We find that, if the connections between core and periphery increase linearly with network size, the first peak does not exhibit any size-dependent effect, and the second one diverges in the limit of infinite network size. Otherwise, if the connections between core and periphery scale sub-linearly with the network size, both peaks of the susceptibility diverge as power laws in the thermodynamic limit. This suggests the appearance of a double transition phenomenon in the Ising model for the latter case. Moreover, we develop a mean-field theory that agrees well with the simulations.
