The relay synchronization is observed when two dynamical units synchronize despite not being directly linked, due to the intermediation of a relay mismatched unit. In our work we have extended the concept of relay synchronization to the case of a multiplex network, showing that the intermediation of a relay layer can lead to inter-layer synchronization of a set of paired layers, both topologically and dynamically different from the transmitter. The phenomenon can be extended to indefinitely higher order relay configurations, provided a mirror symmetry is preserved in the multiplex. The coherent state is very robust to changes in the dynamics, topology, and even to strong multiplex disconnection.Our results provide a new path for starting the study of the role of symmetries in setting long distance coherence in real systems, specially in brain networks, where remote synchronization is of outstanding relevance for coordination between remote cortical areas.
