Abstract

Our general subject is the emergence of phases, and phase transitions, in large networks subjected to a few variable constraints. Our main result is the analysis, in the model using edge and triangle subdensities for constraints, of a sharp transition between two phases with different symmetries, analogous to the transition between a fluid and a crystalline solid.
