If a given behavior of a multi-agent system restricts the phase variable to an invariant manifold, then we define a phase transition as a change of physical characteristics such as speed, coordination, and structure. We define such a phase transition as splitting an underlying manifold into two sub-manifolds with distinct dimensionalities around the singularity where the phase transition physically exists. Here, we propose a method of detecting phase transitions and splitting the manifold into phase transitions free sub-manifolds. Therein, we firstly utilize a relationship between curvature and singular value ratio of points sampled in a curve, and then extend the assertion into higher-dimensions using the shape operator. Secondly, we attest that the same phase transition can also be approximated by singular value ratios computed locally over the data in a neighborhood on the manifold. We validate the Phase Transition Detection (PTD) method using one particle simulation and three real world examples.

Keywords: Phase transition, manifold, collective behavior, dimensionality reduction, curvature.

Embedding dimensionalities of sub-manifolds representing walking (blue circle) and running (red square) of the crowd are three and four, respectively

Figure 3.  Local distribution of data around the point $\boldsymbol{p}$ on a two dimensional manifold ($\mathcal{M}^2$). Principal sections $\Pi^{(1)}_{\boldsymbol{p}}$ and $\Pi^{(2)}_{\boldsymbol{p}}$ are created by using the shape operator at $\boldsymbol{p}$, and curves $C^{(1)}$ and $C^{(2)}$ are produced by intersecting $\Pi^{(1)}_{\boldsymbol{p}}$ and $\Pi^{(2)}_{\boldsymbol{p}}$ with $\mathcal{M}^2$, respectively
