DYNAMICAL MODELS FOR RANDOM SIMPLICIAL COMPLEXES

We study a general model of random dynamical simplicial complexes and derive a formula for the asymptotic degree distribution. This asymptotic formula generalises results for a number of existing models, including random Apollonian networks and the weighted random recursive tree. It also confirms results on the scale-free nature of complex quantum network manifolds in dimensions d > 2, and special types of network geometry with Flavour models studied in the physics literature by Bianconi and Rahmede [Sci. Rep. 5 (2015) 13979 and Phys. Rev. E 93 (2016) 032315].
