Synchronization in hierarchical networks

We review some of the results obtained in our group in recent years concerning the dynamical behavior of phase oscillators in networks with a hierarchical structure. The dynamics highlights the role of communities at all levels. At the same time, by analyzing the resulting dynamical evolution we can infer details about the topological structure of the system. Thus a link between dynamical and topological properties of complex systems is established.
