SUMMARY:Emergence of Heterogeneity in Friendship Networks
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Uttam Bhat\n\nPart of the Preliminary Oral Exam.\n\nE

	------\nAbstract\nIn spite of the complicated psychology and behavior dynam
	ics that go into making friends\, on an average the act of adding links to 
	the friendship network can be reduced to few basic rules. We identify these
	 rules and make a toy model which has a growing network that exhibits many 
	features that are seen in worldly networks (e.g. Facebook). In particular t
	his model shows a transition where the network changes from a dense network
	 to a sparse network. Around this transition we see highly clustered networ
	ks with a lot of community structure showing that it is possible to get a h
	igh amount of heterogeneity from simple homogeneous rules.
