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…

On the vanishing of homology in random Čech complexes

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.

Random geometric complexes in the thermodynamic regime

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…

Asymptotic behavior of Betti numbers of random geometric complexes

We establish the strong law of large numbers for Betti numbers of random \v{C}ech complexes built on $\mathbb R^N$-valued binomial point processes and related Poisson point processes in the…

The self-similar evolution of stationary point processes via persistent homology.

Persistent homology provides a robust methodology to infer topological structures from point cloud data. Here we explore the persistent homology of point clouds embedded into a probabilistic setting,…

On Comparison of Clustering Properties of Point Processes

It is proved that determinantal and permanental processes, as well as, more generally, negatively and positively associated point processes are comparable in this sense to the Poisson point process of the same mean measure.

Large deviation principle for geometric and topological functionals and associated point processes

We prove a large deviation principle for the point process associated to k -element connected components in R d with respect to the connectivity radii r n → ∞ . The random points are generated from a…

Limit theorems for Betti numbers of extreme sample clouds with application to persistence barcodes

We investigate the topological dynamics of extreme sample clouds generated by a heavy tail distribution on R by establishing various limit theorems for Betti numbers, a basic quantifier of algebraic…

Random simplicial complexes

Random shapes arise naturally in many contexts. The topological and geometric structure of such objects is interesting for its own sake, and also for applications. In physics, for example, such…

Topology of Random 2-Complexes

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.

Limit theorems for Betti numbers of random simplicial complexes

There have been several recent articles studying homology of various types of random simplicial complexes. Several theorems have concerned thresholds for vanishing of homology, and in some cases…

Clustering and percolation of point processes

It is shown that point processes with smaller void probabilities and factorial moment measures than the stationary Poisson point process exhibit non-trivial phase transition in the percolation of some coverage models based on level-sets of additive functionals of the point process.

Statistical topology via Morse theory, persistence and nonparametric estimation

In this paper we examine the use of topological methods for multivariate statistics. Using persistent homology from computational algebraic topology, a random sample is used to construct estimators…

Distance Functions, Critical Points, and Topology for Some Random Complexes

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,…

Zeros of Gaussian Analytic Functions and Determinantal Point Processes

The book examines in some depth two important classes of point processes, determinantal processes and 'Gaussian zeros', i.e., zeros of random analytic functions with Gaussian coefficients, which share a property of 'point-repulsion', and presents a primer on modern techniques on the interface of probability and analysis.

Determinantal probability measures

Determinantal point processes have arisen in diverse settings in recent years and have been investigated intensively. We study basic combinatorial and probabilistic aspects in the discrete case. Our…
