Centrality measures in simplicial complexes: Applications of topological data analysis to network science

[EN]Many real networks in social sciences, biological and biomedical sciences or computer science have an inherent structure of simplicial complexes reflecting many-body interactions. Therefore, to analyse topological and dynamical properties of simplicial complex networks centrality measures for si...

Therefore, to analyse topological and dynamical properties of simplicial complex networks centrality measures for simplices need to be proposed. Many of the classical complex networks centralities are based on the degree of a node, so in order to define degree centrality measures for simplices (which would characterise the relevance of a simplicial community in a simplicial network), a different definition of adjacency between simplices is required, since, contrarily to what happens in the vertex case (where there is only upper adjacency), simplices might also have other types of adjacency.

These theoretical centrality measures, such as the simplicial degree centrality or the eigenvector centrality would allow not only to study the relevance of a simplicial community and the quality of its higher-order connections in a simplicial network, but also they might help to elucidate topological and dynamical properties of simplicial networks; sencond, we define notions of walks and distances in simplicial complexes in order to study connectivity of simplicial networks and to generalise, to the simplicial case, the well known closeness and betweenness centralities (needed for instance to study the relevance of a simplicial community in terms of its ability of transmitting information); third, we propose a new clustering coefficient for simplices in a simplicial network, different from the one knows so far and which generalises the standard graph clustering of a vertex. This measure should be essential to know the density of a simplicial network in terms of its simplicial communities.This work has been supported by Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (Spain) and the European Union through FEDER funds under grants TIN2017-84844-C2-2-R and MTM2017-86042-P, and the project STAMGAD 18.J445 / 463AC03 supported by Consejería de Educación (GIR, Junta de Castilla y León, Spain).0096-3003/© 2020 Elsevier Inc.
