Four centrality metrics were computed within communities identified by both GMM and Infomap, and subsequently compared between awardees and other mathematicians. The metrics assessed were: (a), (e) Betweenness; (b), (f) Closeness; (c), (g) Harmonic Centrality; and (d), (h) Eigenvector Centrality.

Figure A1.

Communities and Sub-communities detected sequentially by GMM. The left sub-figure represents the result of the first detection on the collaboration network. The middle one is the community detected with most awardees in the first detection. The right one is network structure of one community in the second detection. The huge circle represents awardees, and the color indicates the sub-field of mathematicians.
