The Friendship Paradox and Social Network Participation
Ahmed Medhat, Shankar Iyer
The friendship paradox implies that a person will, on average, have fewer friends than their friends do. Prior work has shown how the friendship paradox can lead to perception bias…
When Do People Trust Their Social Groups?
Xiao Ma, Justin Cheng, Shankar Iyer +1
Trust facilitates cooperation and supports positive outcomes in social groups, including member satisfaction, information sharing, and task performance. Extensive prior research ha…
Susceptibility at the Superfluid-Insulator Transition for One-Dimensional Disordered Bosons
Shankar Iyer, David Pekker, Gil Refael
A pair of recent Monte Carlo studies have reported evidence for and against a crossover from weak to strong-disorder criticality in the one-dimensional dirty boson problem. The Mon…
Many-Body Localization in a Quasiperiodic System
Shankar Iyer, Vadim Oganesyan, Gil Refael +1
Recent theoretical and numerical evidence suggests that localization can survive in disordered many-body systems with very high energy density, provided that interactions are suffi…
A Mott Glass to Superfluid Transition for Random Bosons in Two Dimensions
Shankar Iyer, David Pekker, Gil Refael
We study the zero temperature superfluid-insulator transition for a two-dimensional model of interacting, lattice bosons in the presence of quenched disorder and particle-hole symm…
