Large language models exhibit normative conformity in addition to informational conformity, and subtle social context can direct which group they conform to.
BOUNDARY_SYNC defines CAF as the ratio of conditional to baseline Jensen-Shannon divergence to quantify communication-induced representational coupling in multi-agent LLMs, reporting homogenization from text communication (CAF=0.803).
Peer agreement misleads initially correct LLMs more than it corrects initially wrong ones, with authority labels biasing choices independently of accuracy and reasoning prompts failing to mitigate the asymmetry.
Simulations of 16 LLM agents in a naming game on 8 topologies show memory depth interacts with network structure to flip coordination speed and increase fragmentation in centralized networks.
Ratio-dependent contrarian activation in groups of three extends the Galam model to allow strategies that bias outcomes toward the initial majority or enforce random fifty-fifty results.
State-of-the-art LLMs respond inconsistently to queries from protected-group personas, with some responses omitting key information that should be provided.
LLM agents in controlled network debates show agreement drift toward specific opinion positions, requiring separation of structural effects from LLM biases before using them as human behavioral proxies.
