Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The theme of this project is the development of the theory of random geometric graphs on spaces of constant negative curvature. These are the hyperbolic random graphs. The aim is twofold. Firstly, this theory is a natural next step on the theory of random geometric graphs, which has been developed during the last 15 years and has mainly focused on geometric graphs on Euclidean spaces. The second and perhaps most timely aim is to exploit hyperbolic random graphs as a model for real-world networks. The rapid development of the Internet over the last 15 years and its vast impact on a globalised world has brought the search for a model of real-world networks into the forefront of Science. Recent work has shown that hyperbolic random graphs exhibit properties that are observed in real-world networks. This work is based on heuristics and computer-aided simulations. The main task of this project will be to verify rigorously these observations and explore further the role of spaces of negative curvature as natural host spaces, which can accommodate structures that represent social relations and hierarchies.'
