Using a set of $\Lambda$CDM simulations of cosmic structure formation, we study the evolving connectivity and changing topological structure of the cosmic web using state-of-the-art tools of multiscale topological data analysis (TDA). We…

Random fields in nature often have, to a good approximation, Gaussian characteristics. For such fields, the relative densities of umbilical points -- topological defects which can be classified into three types -- have certain fixed values.…
