Title: Phase Transitions in the Growth of Groups Abstract: Speaker: Ralph Kenna (Coventry) Title: Phase Transitions in the Growth of Groups Abstract:
Groups of interacting nodes (such as research groups of interacting scientists) are considered as many-body, complex systems and their cooperative behaviour is analysed from a statistical-physics, mean-field viewpoint. Contrary to the naive expectation that group success is an accumulation of the strengths of its nodes, it is demonstrated that intra-group interactions play a dominant role. These drive the growth of groups and give rise to phenomena akin to phase transitions, where the relationship between group quality and size reduces. The hitherto intutitive notion of critical mass is quantified and measured for research groups in academia.
