Optimal network topologies for information transmission in active networks
This work clarifies the relation between network circuit (topology) and
behavior (information transmission and synchronization) in active networks,
e.g. neural networks. As an application, we show how to determine a network
topology that is optimal for information transmission. By optimal, we mean that
the network is able to transmit a large amount of information, it possesses a
large number of communication channels, and it is robust under large variations
of the network coupling configuration. This theoretical approach is general and
does not depend on the particular dynamic of the elements forming the network,
since the network topology can be determined by finding a Laplacian matrix (the
matrix that describes the connections and the coupling strengths among the
elements) whose eigenvalues satisfy some special conditions. To illustrate our
ideas and theoretical approaches, we use neural networks of electrically
connected chaotic Hindmarsh-Rose neurons.Comment: 20 pages, 12 figure
Structure of trajectories of complex matrix eigenvalues in the Hermitian-non-Hermitian transition
The statistical properties of trajectories of eigenvalues of Gaussian complex
matrices whose Hermitian condition is progressively broken are investigated. It
is shown how the ordering on the real axis of the real eigenvalues is reflected
in the structure of the trajectories and also in the final distribution of the
eigenvalues in the complex plane.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
Holonomy Transformation in the FRW Metric
In this work we investigate loop variables in Friedman-Robertson-Walker
spacetime. We analyze the parallel transport of vectors and spinors in several
paths in this spacetime in order to classify its global properties. The band
holonomy invariance is analysed in this background.Comment: 8 page
Environments of Redshift Survey Compact Groups of Galaxies
Redshift Survey Compact Groups (RSCGs) are tight knots of N >= 3 galaxies
selected from the CfA2+SSRS2 redshift survey. The selection is based on
physical extent and association in redshift space alone. We measured 300 new
redshifts of fainter galaxies within 1 h^{-1} Mpc of 14 RSCGs to explore the
relationship between RSCGs and their environments. 13 of 14 RSCGs are embedded
in overdense regions of redshift space. The systems range from a loose group of
5 members to an Abell cluster. The remaining group, RSCG 64, appears isolated.
RSCGs are isolated and distinct from their surroundings to varying degrees, as
are the Hickson Compact Groups. Among the 13 embedded RSCGs, 3 are distinct
from their general environments (RSCG 9, RSCG 11 and RSCG 85).Comment: 35 pages, including 10 figures and 5 tables, accepted for publication
