Knowing your collaborators is an intersting process to learn about their research interests and contributions as well as collaboration opportunities with them.
A
Collaboration Graph of mathematicians is a graph where vertices represent distinct mathematicians and
two vertices are joined by an edge if the corresponding mathematicians jointly co-authored a paper together, possibly with other co-authors. The Collaboration distance between two vertices in a collaboration graph
is the minimum number of edges connecting the two vertices. Two useful tools for finding collaboration distances are
AMS MathSciNet Collaboration Distance tool and
zbMATH Collaboration Distance tool. Perhaps, the most famous measure of collaboration distances is
the
Erdős numbers. One great source of data and facts on Erdős numbers is the
Erdős Number Project. You may be interested to know your distances from
Erdős as well as many of your other favorite mathematicians.
I find it to be a nice recreational activity to study collaborations across scientific and mathematical communities.
