An anomalous topological phase transition in spatial random graphs
The Berezinskii, Kosterlitz, and Thouless (BKT) model shows that there are finite temperature phase transitions driven not by symmetry breaking, but rather by topological defects such as vortices. The authors show that a transition occurring in a general class of sparse space random networks model i...
