abstract = {A condensation transition was predicted for growing
technological networks evolving by preferential
attachment and competing quality of their nodes, as
described by the fitness model. When this condensation
occurs, a node acquires a finite fraction of all the
links of the network. Earlier studies based on
steady-state degree distribution and on the mapping to
Bose-Einstein condensation were able to identify the
critical point. Here we characterize the dynamics of
condensation and we present evidence that below the
condensation temperature there is a slow down of the
dynamics and that a single node (not necessarily the
best node in the network) emerges as the winner for
very long times. The characteristic time t;\{*\} at
which this phenomenon occurs diverges both at the
critical point and at T--{\textgreater}0 when new links
are attached deterministically to the highest quality
node of the network.},
