This note concerns the asymptotics of the expected total Betti numbers of the nodal set for an important class of Gaussian ensembles of random fields on Riemannian manifolds. By working with the limit random field defined on the Euclidean…
We study a natural model of random 2-dimensional cubical complex which is a subcomplex of an n-dimensional cube, and where every possible square $2$-face is included independently with probability p. Our main result is to exhibit a sharp…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ random points in $R^d$, generated from a probability measure on a $m$-dimensional manifold $M \subset R^d$. In this paper we study the homology of $U(P,r)$ -- the union of $d$-dimensional balls of radius $r$ around…
We examine properties of random numerical semigroups under a probabilistic model inspired by the Erdos-Renyi model for random graphs. We provide a threshold function for cofiniteness, and bound the expected embedding dimension, genus, and…
Several years ago Linial and Meshulam introduced a model called X_d(n,p) of random n-vertex d-dimensional simplicial complexes. The following question suggests itself very naturally: What is the threshold probability p=p(n) at which the…
We describe and analyze a numerical algorithm for computing the homology (Betti numbers and torsion coefficients) of real projective varieties. Here numerical means that the algorithm is numerically stable (in a sense to be made precise).…
The classical Poisson theorem says that if $\xi_1,\xi_2,...$ are i.i.d. 0--1 Bernoulli random variables taking on 1 with probability $p_n\equiv \la/n$ then the sum $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^n\xi_i$ is asymptotically in $n$ Poisson distributed with…
In this paper we introduce a method which allows us to study properties of the random uniform simplicial complex. That is, we assign equal probability to all simplicial complexes with a given number of vertices and then consider properties…
We establish some limit theorems for quasi-arithmetic means of random variables. This class of means contains the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means. Our feature is that the generators of quasi-arithmetic means are allowed to be…
We determine which simplicial complexes have the maximum or minimum sum of Betti numbers and sum of bigraded Betti numbers with a given number of vertices in each dimension.
We prove normal approximation bounds for statistics of randomly weighted (simplicial) complexes. In particular, we consider the complete $d$-dimensional complex on $n$ vertices with $d$-simplices equipped with i.i.d. weights. Our normal…
We asymptotically estimate from above the expected Betti numbers of random real hypersurfaces in smooth real projective manifolds. Our upper bounds grow as the square root of the degree of the hypersurfaces as the latter grows to infinity,…
We prove sharper versions of theorems of Linial-Meshulam and Meshulam-Wallach which describe the behavior for (Z/2)-cohomology of a random k-dimensional simplicial complex within a narrow transition window. In particular, we show that…
We construct a CW decomposition $C_n$ of the $n$-dimensional half cube in a manner compatible with its structure as a polytope. For each $3 \leq k \leq n$, the complex $C_n$ has a subcomplex $C_{n, k}$, which coincides with the clique…
We present two new problems on lower bounds for resolution Betti numbers of monomial ideals generated in a fixed degree. The first concerns any such ideal and bounds the total Betti numbers, while the second concerns ideals that are…
A key object of study in stochastic topology is a random simplicial complex. In this work we study a multi-parameter random simplicial complex model, where the probability of including a $k$-simplex, given the lower dimensional structure,…
We provide novel lower bounds on the Betti numbers of Vietoris-Rips complexes of hypercube graphs of all dimensions, and at all scales. In more detail, let $Q_n$ be the vertex set of $2^n$ vertices in the $n$-dimensional hypercube graph,…
This paper proves several weak limit theorems for the joint version of extreme order statistics and partial sums of independently and identically distributed random variables. The results are also extended to almost sure limit version.
This paper studies the complexity of estimating Renyi divergences of discrete distributions: $p$ observed from samples and the baseline distribution $q$ known \emph{a priori}. Extending the results of Acharya et al. (SODA'15) on estimating…
