Recently, we introduced [Physical Review E 100, 022303 (2019)] a stochastic social balance model with Glauber dynamics which takes into account the role of randomness in the individual's behavior. One important finding of our study was a…

We introduce the idea of weakly coherent collisional models, where the elements of an environment interacting with a system of interest are prepared in states that are approximately thermal, but have an amount of coherence proportional to a…

Two complementary mechanisms are thought to shape social groups: homophily between agents and structural balance in connected triads. Here we consider $N$ fully connected agents, where each agent has $G$ underlying attributes, and the…
