The homology of random simplicial complexes in the multi-parameter upper model

We study random simplicial complexes in the multi-parameter upper model. In this model simplices of various dimensions are taken randomly and independently, and our random simplicial complex $Y$ is then taken to be the minimal simplicial complex containing this collection of simplices. We study the asymptotic behavior of the homology of $Y$ as the number of vertices goes to $\infty$. We observe the following phenomenon asymptotically almost surely. The given probabilities with which the simplices are taken determine a range of dimensions $\ell \leq k \leq \ell'$ with $\ell' \leq 2\ell +1$, outside of which the homology of $Y$ vanishes. Within this range, the homologies diminish drastically from dimension to dimension. In particular, the homology in the critical dimension $\ell$ is significantly the largest.
