Characterization of multiple topological scales in multiplex networks through supra-Laplacian eigengaps 2016 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Multilayer networks have been the subject of intense research during the past few years, as they represent better the interdependent nature of many real-world systems. Here, we address the question of describing the three different structural phases in which a multiplex network might exist. We show that each phase can be characterized by the presence of gaps in the spectrum of the supra-Laplacian of the multiplex network. We therefore unveil the existence of different topological scales in the system, whose relation characterizes each phase. Moreover, by capitalizing on the coarse-grained representation that is given in terms of quotient graphs, we explain the mechanisms that produce those gaps as well as their dynamical consequences. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2014-55867-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/317532/EU/Foundational Research on MULTIlevel comPLEX networks and systems/MULTIPLEX info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 2.366 2016 PHYSICS, MATHEMATICAL 6 / 55 = 0.109 2016 Q1 T1 PHYSICS, FLUIDS & PLASMAS 10 / 31 = 0.323 2016 Q2 T1 1.27 2016 Condensed Matter Physics 2016 Q1 Statistics and Probability 2016 Q1 Statistical and Nonlinear Physics 2016 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-0895-1893 Moreno, Y.
