Complex network growth model: Possible isomorphism between nonextensive statistical mechanics and random geometry

Statistical Mechanics 2022-05-20 v1

Abstract

In the realm of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics there are three well known isomorphic connections with random geometry, namely (i) the Kasteleyn-Fortuin theorem which connects the λ1\lambda \to 1 limit of the λ\lambda-state Potts ferromagnet with bond percolation, (ii) the isomorphism which connects the λ0\lambda \to 0 limit of the λ\lambda-state Potts ferromagnet with random resistor networks, and (iii) the de Gennes isomorphism which connects the n0n \to 0 limit of the nn-vector ferromagnet with self-avoiding random walk in linear polymers. We provide here strong numerical evidence that a similar isomorphism appears to emerge connecting the energy qq-exponential distribution eqβqε\propto e_q^{-\beta_q \varepsilon} (with q=4/3q=4/3 and βqω0=10/3\beta_q \omega_0 =10/3) optimizing, under simple constraints, the nonadditive entropy SqS_q with a specific geographic growth random model based on preferential attachment through exponentially-distributed weighted links, ω0\omega_0 being the characteristic weight.
