Abstract

We introduce a family of Rock-Paper-Scissors type models with ZNZ_N symmetry (NN is the number of species) and we show that it has a very rich structure with many completely different phases. We study realizations which lead to the formation of domains, where individuals of one or more species coexist, separated by interfaces whose (average) dynamics is curvature driven. This type of behavior, which might be relevant for the development of biological complexity, leads to an interface network evolution and pattern formation similar to the ones of several other nonlinear systems in condensed matter and cosmology.
