We investigate random connected graphs from a block-stable class whose distribution is weighted based on the number of $2$-connected components, or blocks. This includes the class of planar graphs. For this, we develop a notion of a…

The configuration model is the most natural model to generate a random multigraph with a given degree sequence. We use the notion of dense graph limits to characterize the special form of limit objects of convergent sequences of…

Exponential random graphs are important to model the structure of real-world complex networks. Here we solve the two-star model with degree-degree correlations in the sparse regime. The model constraints the average correlation between the…

We consider community detection from multiple correlated graphs sharing the same community structure. The correlated graphs are generated by independent subsampling of a parent graph sampled from the stochastic block model. The vertex…

Bootstrap percolation provides an emblematic instance of phase behavior characterised by an abrupt transition with diverging critical fluctuations. This unusual hybrid situation generally occurs in particle systems in which the occupation…

We consider the problem of community detection in the Stochastic Block Model with a finite number $K$ of communities of sizes linearly growing with the network size $n$. This model consists in a random graph such that each pair of vertices…

We consider randomized dynamics over the $n$-simplex, where at each step a random set, or block, of coordinates is evenly averaged. When all blocks have size 2, this reduces to the repeated averages studied in [CDSZ22], a version of the…

For random graphs distributed according to a stochastic block model, we consider the inferential task of partioning vertices into blocks using spectral techniques. Spectral partioning using the normalized Laplacian and the adjacency matrix…
