Geometric Correlations Mitigate the Extreme Vulnerability of Multiplex Networks against Targeted Attacks

We show that real multiplex networks are unexpectedly robust against targeted attacks on high-degree nodes and that hidden interlayer geometric correlations predict this robustness. Without geometric correlations, multiplexes exhibit an abrupt breakdown of mutual connectivity, even with interlayer d...
