Statistical physics has proven to be an invaluable tool to describe and understand the properties of systems formed by a large number of elementary units. A big challenge is whether the tools and techniques of statistical physics are suitable to explore large scale social phenomena. Most attempts of ...

Identifying communities in networks is an open challenge of fundamental importance in several disciplines. Here I discuss the main aspects of the problem, from the definition of community to the problem of hierarchy, including the crucial issue of testing methods of community detection.

Finding communities in networks is crucial to understand their structure and function, as well as to identify the role of the nodes and uncover hidden relationships between nodes. In this talk I will highlight the open problems that still keep the scientic community from having a shared set of relia ...
