Cech and Vietoris-Rips complexes. In particular, we obtain results about homology, as measured via the growth of Betti numbers, when the vertices are the points of a general stationary point process. This significantly extends earlier results in which the points were either iid observations or the points of a Poisson process. In dealing with general point processes, in which the points exhibit dependence such as attraction, or repulsion, we find phenomena quantitatively different from those…

We consider the topology of simplicial complexes with vertices the points of a random point process and faces determined by distance relationships between the vertices. In particular, we study the
Homological Connectivity in Random Čech Complexes
We study the homology of random Cech complexes generated by a homogeneous Poisson process. We focus on 'homological connectivity' - the stage where the random complex is dense enough, so that its

The homology of random \v{C}ech complexes over a homogeneous Poisson process on the d-dimensional torus is computed, and it is shown that there are, coarsely, two phase transitions.

We study the asymptotic nature of geometric structures formed from a point cloud of observations of (generally heavy tailed) distributions in a Euclidean space of dimension greater than one. A

This paper studies the Linial–Meshulam model of random two-dimensional simplicial complexes and proves that for p≪n−1 a random 2-complex Y collapses simplicially to a graph and, in particular, the fundamental group π1(Y) is free and H2(Y)=0, asymptotically almost surely.

Topology of random clique complexes
Estimates suggest that almost all d-dimensional clique complexes have only one nonvanishing dimension of homology, and cannot rule out the possibility that they are homotopy equivalent to wedges of a spheres.

For a finite set of points $P$ in $R^d$, the function $d_P:R^d \to R_+$ measures Euclidean distance to the set $P$. We study the number of critical points of $d_P$ when $P$ is random. In particular,
