We define a minimal model of traffic flows in complex networks containing the most relevant features of real routing schemes, i.e. a trade--off strategy between topological-based and traffic-based routing. The resulting collective behavior,…

Structures such as waves, jets, and vortices have a dramatic impact on the transport properties of a flow. Passive tracer transport in incompressible two-dimensional flows is described by Hamiltonian dynamics, and, for idealized structures,…

Consider a family $\mathcal{T}$ of 3-connected graphs of moderate growth, and let $\mathcal{G}$ be the class of graphs whose 3-connected components are graphs in $\mathcal{T}$. We present a general framework for analyzing such graphs…

Data analysts commonly utilize statistics to summarize large datasets. While it is often sufficient to explore only the summary statistics of a dataset (e.g., min/mean/max), Anscombe's Quartet demonstrates how such statistics can be…

We model power grids transporting electricity generated by intermittent renewable sources as complex networks, where line failures can emerge indirectly by noisy power input at the nodes. By combining concepts from statistical physics and…

Non-reciprocity and geometric frustration enable many-body systems to avoid crystalline order and instead exhibit complex, liquid-like behavior. Here we show that their interplay is richer than the sum of its parts, leading to surprising…

The graph-theoretic topological frustration is a peculiar situation on a finite piece of the honeycomb lattice that prevents a full pairwise coupling of the lattice sites via nearest neighbor links, even when the total number of sites is an…

One challenge in developing a statistical field theory of turbulence is the analysis of the functional equations that govern the complete statistics of the flow field. Simplified models of turbulence may help to develop such a statistical…

Geometric frustration is known to completely damage kinetic processes of some of the orbitals (and their associated quantum coherence) as to produce flat bands in the non-interacting systems. The impact of introducing additional interaction…

Chirality frustrates and shapes the assembly of flexible filaments in rope-like, twisted bundles and fibers by introducing gradients of both filament shape (i.e. curvature) and packing throughout the structure. Previous models of chiral…
