New preprint! Our paper “Multiplicative Path Weights in Networks: From Katz Connectivity to Mean First-Passage Times”, written with Robbert van der Burg, Bernd Heidergott, and Thao Le, studies network connectivity through multiplicative path weights, linking Katz centrality with first-passage times in Markov chains and extending the framework to random edge weights.
