Directed percolation in higher-order social dilemmas

Pablo Villegas, Sandro Meloni

Multiplayer social dilemmas on hypergraphs show a variety of emergent phenomena, which has been attributed to group interactions. Here we test whether pairwise dynamics can reprodu…

Is higher-order physics different?

Pablo Villegas, Sandro Meloni

Group interactions are widespread, and higher-order extensions of familiar models display collective phenomena absent from their pairwise baselines, which are routinely offered as…

The Synergistic Route to Stretched Criticality

Lorenzo Lucarini, Sandro Meloni, Pablo Villegas

Griffiths phases are typically associated with quenched disorder, while frustration gives rise to multistability and spin-glass behavior. Whether extended criticality can arise in…

Higher-order interactions in ecology can be hidden in plain sight

Violeta Calleja-Solanas, Santiago Lamata-Otín, Carlos Gómez-Ambrosi +2

Higher-order interactions are increasingly recognized as a key component of ecological dynamics. However, we show that higher-order Lotka-Volterra dynamics can, in some scenarios,…

Cross-order induced behaviors in contagion dynamics on higher-order networks

Kaloyan Danovski, Sandro Meloni, Michele Starnini

Recent studies have shown that novel collective behaviors emerge in complex systems due to higher-order interactions. However, the way in which the structural correlations of these…

Higher-order contagion processes in 3.99 dimensions

Sandro Meloni, Andrea Gabrielli, Pablo Villegas

Higher-order interactions have recently emerged as a promising framework for describing new dynamical phenomena in heterogeneous contagion processes. However, a fundamental open qu…

Towards a less spherical cow: Species differences dilute the stabilizing effect of higher-order interactions

Marc Duran-Sala, Sandro Meloni, Violeta Calleja-Solanas

Ecological models traditionally explain stability and coexistence through pairwise interactions among species. However, interactions can also involve groups of three or more specie…

Patterns in temporal networks with higher-order egocentric structures

Beatriz Arregui-García, Antonio Longa, Quintino Francesco Lotito +2

The analysis of complex and time-evolving interactions like social dynamics represents a current challenge for the science of complex systems. Temporal networks stand as a suitable…
