arXiv:2602.11802v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Graph link prediction (LP) plays a critical role in socially impactful applications such as job recommendation and friendship formation, making fairness a critical concern in this task. While many fairness-aware methods manipulate graph structures to mitigate prediction disparities, the topological biases inherent to social graphs remain poorly understood and are consistently conflated with homophily alone. In this work, we study the relationship between structural biases and fairness outcomes in LP. To this end, we formalize a taxonomy of to
