Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9769-8796 Polarization inhibits the phase transition of Axelrod''s model 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted We study the effect of polarization in Axelrod''s model of cultural dissemination. This is done through the introduction of a cultural feature that takes only two values, while the other features can present a larger number of possible traits. Our numerical results and mean-field approximations show that polarization reduces the characteristic phase transition of the original model to a finite-size effect, since at the thermodynamic limit only the ordered phase is present. Furthermore, for finite system sizes, the stationary state depends on the percolation threshold of the network where the model is implemented: a polarized phase is obtained for percolation thresholds below 1/2, and a fragmented multicultural one otherwise. © 2021 American Physical Society. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.707 2021 PHYSICS, MATHEMATICAL 10 / 56 = 0.179 2021 Q1 T1 PHYSICS, FLUIDS & PLASMAS 16 / 34 = 0.471 2021 Q2 T2 0.847 2021 Statistical and Nonlinear Physics 2021 Q1 Condensed Matter Physics 2021 Q1 4.5 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Brigatti E.
