Structure and dynamics of multiplex networks: beyond degree correlations — •Kaj-Kolja Kleineberg — Computational Social Science, ETH Zurich, Clausiusstrasse 50, CH-8092 Zurich, Switzerland

The organization of constituent network layers to multiplex networks has recently attracted a lot of attention. Here, we show empirical evidence for the existence of relations between the layers of real multiplex networks that go beyond degree correlations. These relations consist of correlations in hidden metric spaces that underlie the observed topology. We discuss the impact and applications of these relations for trans-layer link prediction, community detection, navigation, game theory, and especially for the robustness of multiplex networks against random failures and targeted attacks. We show that these relations lead to fundamentally new behaviors, which emphasizes the importance to consider organizational principles of multiplex networks beyond degree correlations in future research.
