The relationship between episcopal genealogy and ideology in the Roman Catholic Church
Marta Baratto, Ivan Casanovas, Ivan Decostanzi +7
In this study we investigate how hierarchical structures within the Roman Catholic Church shape the ideological orientation of its leadership. The full episcopal genealogy dataset…
Disentangling the role of heterogeneity and hyperedge overlap in explosive contagion on higher-order networks
Federico Malizia, Andrés Guzmán, Iacopo Iacopini +1
We introduce group-based compartmental modeling (GBCM), a mean-field framework for irreversible contagion in higher-order networks that captures structural heterogeneity and correl…
The networks of ingredient combinations as culinary fingerprints of world cuisines
Claudio Caprioli, Saumitra Kulkarni, Federico Battiston +3
Investigating how different ingredients are combined in popular dishes is crucial to uncover the principles behind food preferences. Here, we use data from public food repositories…
Exploring the interplay of individual traits and interaction dynamics in preschool social networks
Gülşah Akçakır, Amina Azaiez, Alberto Ceria +5
Several studies have investigated human interaction using modern tracking techniques for face-to-face encounters across various settings and age groups. However, little attention h…
Distinguishing mechanisms of social contagion from local network view
Elsa Andres, Gergely Ódor, Iacopo Iacopini +1
The adoption of individual behavioural patterns is largely determined by stimuli arriving from peers via social interactions or from external sources. Based on these influences, in…
The structural evolution of temporal hypergraphs through the lens of hyper-cores
Marco Mancastroppa, Iacopo Iacopini, Giovanni Petri +1
The richness of many complex systems stems from the interactions among their components. The higher-order nature of these interactions, involving many units at once, and their temp…
Insights from exact social contagion dynamics on networks with higher-order structures
István Z. Kiss, Iacopo Iacopini, Péter L. Simon +1
Recently there has been an increasing interest in studying dynamical processes on networks exhibiting higher-order structures, such as simplicial complexes, where the dynamics acts…
Not your private tête-à-tête: leveraging the power of higher-order networks to study animal communication
Iacopo Iacopini, Jennifer R Foote, Nina H Fefferman +2
Animal communication is frequently studied with conventional network representations that link pairs of individuals who interact, for example, through vocalisation. However, acoust…
The dynamics of higher-order novelties
Gabriele Di Bona, Alessandro Bellina, Giordano De Marzo +3
Studying how we explore the world in search of novelties is key to understand the mechanisms that can lead to new discoveries. Previous studies analyzed novelties in various explor…
The temporal dynamics of group interactions in higher-order social networks
Iacopo Iacopini, Márton Karsai, Alain Barrat
Representing social systems as networks, starting from the interactions between individuals, sheds light on the mechanisms governing their dynamics. However, networks encode only p…
Hyper-cores promote localization and efficient seeding in higher-order processes
Marco Mancastroppa, Iacopo Iacopini, Giovanni Petri +1
Going beyond networks, to include higher-order interactions of arbitrary sizes, is a major step to better describe complex systems. In the resulting hypergraph representation, tool…
Simplicially driven simple contagion
Maxime Lucas, Iacopo Iacopini, Thomas Robiglio +2
Single contagion processes are known to display a continuous transition from an epidemic-free phase at low contagion rates to the epidemic state for rates above a critical threshol…
Social interactions affect discovery processes
Gabriele Di Bona, Enrico Ubaldi, Iacopo Iacopini +3
Our network of acquaintances determines how we get exposed to ideas, products, or cultural artworks (books, music, movies, etc.). Though this principle is part of our common sense,…
The physics of higher-order interactions in complex systems
Federico Battiston, Enrico Amico, Alain Barrat +11
Complex networks have become the main paradigm for modelling the dynamics of interacting systems. However, networks are intrinsically limited to describing pairwise interactions, w…
Simplicial contagion in temporal higher-order networks
Sandeep Chowdhary, Aanjaneya Kumar, Giulia Cencetti +2
Complex networks represent the natural backbone to study epidemic processes in populations of interacting individuals. Such a modeling framework, however, is naturally limited to p…
Influential groups for seeding and sustaining nonlinear contagion in heterogeneous hypergraphs
Guillaume St-Onge, Iacopo Iacopini, Vito Latora +4
Several biological and social contagion phenomena, such as superspreading events or social reinforcement, are the results of multi-body interactions, for which hypergraphs offer a…
On the dual nature of adoption processes in complex networks
Iacopo Iacopini, Vito Latora
Adoption processes in socio-technological systems have been widely studied both empirically and theoretically. The way in which social norms, behaviors, and even items such as book…
Social contagion on higher-order structures
Alain Barrat, Guilherme Ferraz de Arruda, Iacopo Iacopini +1
In this Chapter, we discuss the effects of higher-order structures on SIS-like processes of social contagion. After a brief motivational introduction where we illustrate the standa…
Group interactions modulate critical mass dynamics in social convention
Iacopo Iacopini, Giovanni Petri, Andrea Baronchelli +1
How can minorities of individuals overturn social conventions? The theory of critical mass states that when a committed minority reaches a critical size, a cascade of behavioural c…
Interacting discovery processes on complex networks
Iacopo Iacopini, Gabriele Di Bona, Enrico Ubaldi +2
Innovation is the driving force of human progress. Recent urn models reproduce well the dynamics through which the discovery of a novelty may trigger further ones, in an expanding…
London in Lockdown: Mobility in the Pandemic City
Michael Batty, Roberto Murcio, Iacopo Iacopini +2
This chapter looks at the spatial distribution and mobility patterns of essential and non-essential workers before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in London and compares them to t…
Networks beyond pairwise interactions: structure and dynamics
Federico Battiston, Giulia Cencetti, Iacopo Iacopini +5
The complexity of many biological, social and technological systems stems from the richness of the interactions among their units. Over the past decades, a great variety of complex…
Evaluating the impact of PrEP on HIV and gonorrhea on a networked population of female sex workers
Alba Bernini, Elodie Blouzard, Alberto Bracci +6
Sexual contacts are the main spreading route of HIV. This puts sex workers at higher risk of infection even in populations where HIV prevalence is moderate or low. Alongside condom…
Multilayer modeling of adoption dynamics in energy demand management
Iacopo Iacopini, Benjamin Schäfer, Elsa Arcaute +2
Due to the emergence of new technologies, the whole electricity system is undergoing transformations on a scale and pace never observed before. The decentralization of energy resou…
