Abstract

Recent studies of dynamic properties in complex systems point out the profound impact of hidden geometry features known as simplicial complexes, which enable geometrically conditioned many-body interactions. Studies of collective behaviors on the controlled-structure complexes can reveal the subtle interplay of geometry and dynamics. Here we investigate the phase synchronization (Kuramoto) dynamics under the competing interactions embedded on 1-simplex (edges) and 2-simplex (triangles) faces of a homogeneous four-dimensional simplicial complex. Its underlying network is a 1-hyperbolic graph with the assortative correlations among the node's degrees and the spectral dimension that exceeds ds=4. By numerically solving the set of coupled equations for the phase oscillators associated with the network nodes, we determine the time-averaged system's order parameter to characterize the synchronization level. Our results reveal a variety of synchronization and desynchronization scenarios, including partially synchronized states and nonsymmetrical hysteresis loops, depending on the sign and strength of the pairwise interactions and the geometric frustrations promoted by couplings on triangle faces. For substantial triangle-based interactions, the frustration effects prevail, preventing the complete synchronization and the abrupt desynchronization transition disappears. These findings shed new light on the mechanisms by which the high-dimensional simplicial complexes in natural systems, such as human connectomes, can modulate their native synchronization processes.
