New paper in Nature Communications on Phase locking in the topological Kuramoto model
July 25, 2026
We have a new paper in Nature Communicatons entitled “Phase locking and multistability in the topological Kuramoto model on cell complexes”. The authors are Iva Bačić (FZ Jülich), Michael Schaub, Jürgen Kurths (PIK Potsdam) & Dirk Witthaut (FZ Jülich). The paper introduces topological nonlinear Kirchhoff conditions to characterize all phase-locked states of the topological Kuramoto model. Our results show how the topology and boundary structure of cell complexes influence phase locking and multistability.
