Michele Aleandri (LUISS) "Interaction on graphs: dynamics and normative aspects".
Abstract
This seminar illustrates how graphs provide a versatile framework for modeling interaction, coordination, and long-term behavior in complex systems. We consider several classes of models in which agents’ decisions evolve through reinforcement, social influence, cooperation, or rare-event dynamics, and show how the underlying network structure governs stability, convergence, and the emergence of norms. Reinforced dynamics highlight how graph topology shapes collective limits; models of social influence reveal how local interactions can trigger global shifts in normative behavior; collaboration networks show how power and coherence depend on structural position; and large-deviation regimes in stochastic systems demonstrate how graphs guide asymptotic selection mechanisms. Taken together, these perspectives show how diverse phenomena, ranging from normative change to technological cooperation and metastable behavior, can be understood through a common graph-based viewpoint.
The Department of Economics and Management at the University of Pavia is proud to host the Sinergie–SIMA Management Conference 2026, the leading event in management research. This year’s theme, “Transforming Management in the Era of Post-Globalization and Agentic Economy”, explores how global shifts and emerging technologies are reshaping management practices. More details are available at the SIMA 2026 website.
