Identity and fragmentation in networks

This paper examines the role of identity in the fragmentation of networks by incorporating the choice of commitment to identity characteristics into a non-cooperative network formation game. The Nash network features divisions based on identity, with layers within these divisions. Using the refinement of strictness I find structures where stars of highly committed players are linked together by less committed players.
