Keeping the interaction structure explicit: comment on "Graphs are maximally expressive for higher-order interactions"

Giulio Burgio

Peixoto et al. (arXiv:2602.16937v2) stress that graph-based formulations can express any interaction model, a point the literature on higher-order networks (HONs) has often overloo…

Defining and classifying models of groups: The social ontology of higher-order networks

Jonathan St-Onge, Randall Harp, Giulio Burgio +3

In complex systems research, the study of higher-order interactions has exploded in recent years. Researchers have formalized various types of group interactions, such as public go…

Characteristic scales and adaptation in higher-order contagions

Giulio Burgio, Guillaume St-Onge, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne

People organize in groups and contagions spread across them. A simple stochastic process, yet complex to model due to dynamical correlations within and between groups. Moreover, gr…

Self-reinforcing cascades: A spreading model for beliefs or products of varying intensity or quality

Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Juniper Lovato, Giulio Burgio +3

Models of how things spread often assume that transmission mechanisms are fixed over time. However, social contagions--the spread of ideas, beliefs, innovations--can lose or gain i…

Paradoxes in the co-evolution of contagions and institutions

Jonathan St-Onge, Giulio Burgio, Samuel F. Rosenblatt +2

Epidemic models study the spread of an undesired agent through a population, be it infectious diseases through a country, misinformation in online social media, or pests infesting…

Adaptive hypergraphs and the characteristic scale of higher-order contagions using generalized approximate master equations

Giulio Burgio, Guillaume St-Onge, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne

People organize in groups and contagions spread across them. A simple process, but complex to model due to dynamical correlations within groups and between groups. Groups can also…

A triadic approximation reveals the role of interaction overlap on the spread of complex contagions on higher-order networks

Giulio Burgio, Sergio Gómez, Alex Arenas

Contagion processes relying on the exposure to multiple sources are prevalent in social systems, and are effectively represented by hypergraphs. In this Letter, we derive a mean-fi…

Spreading dynamics in networks under context-dependent behavior

Giulio Burgio, Sergio Gómez, Alex Arenas

In some systems, the behavior of the constituent units can create a `context' that modifies the direct interactions among them. This mechanism of indirect modification inspired us…

Homophily impacts the success of vaccine roll-outs

Giulio Burgio, Benjamin Steinegger, Alex Arenas

Physical contacts do not occur randomly, rather, individuals with similar socio-demographic and behavioural characteristics are more likely to interact among them, a phenomenon kno…

The impact of homophily on digital proximity tracing

Giulio Burgio, Benjamin Steinegger, Giacomo Rapisardi +1

We study how homophily of human physical interactions affects the efficacy of digital proximity tracing. Analytical results show a non monotonous dependence of the reproduction num…

Network clique cover approximation to analyze complex contagions through group interactions

Giulio Burgio, Alex Arenas, Sergio Gómez +1

Contagion processes have been proven to fundamentally depend on the structural properties of the interaction networks conveying them. Many real networked systems are characterized…

A dynamic model of Tax Evasion

Alessio Emanuele Biondo, Giulio Burgio, Alessandro Pluchino +1

In this paper we present a simplified model of a proportional taxation system where citizens decide whether to pay taxes or evade them. We initially derive a dynamic equation for t…

Evolution of Cooperation in the Presence of Higher-Order Interactions: from Networks to Hypergraphs

Giulio Burgio, Joan T. Matamalas, Sergio Gómez +1

Many real systems are strongly characterized by collective cooperative phenomena whose existence and properties still need a satisfactory explanation. Coherently with their collect…

Exploring the Role of Interdisciplinarity in Physics: Success, Talent and Luck

Alessandro Pluchino, Giulio Burgio, Andrea Rapisarda +4

Although interdisciplinarity is often touted as a necessity for modern research, the evidence on the relative impact of sectorial versus to interdisciplinary science is qualitative…
