Random Complexes and l 2 - Betti Numbers
نویسنده
چکیده
Uniform spanning trees on finite graphs and their analogues on infinite graphs are a well-studied area. On a Cayley graph of a group, we show that they are related to the first l-Betti number of the group. Our main aim, however, is to present the basic elements of a higher-dimensional analogue on finite and infinite CW-complexes, which relate to the higher l-Betti numbers. One consequence is a uniform isoperimetric inequality extending work of Lyons, Pichot, and Vassout. We also present an enumeration similar to recent work of Duval, Klivans, and Martin. §

On a special class of Stanley-Reisner ideals
For an $n$-gon with vertices at points $1,2,cdots,n$, the Betti numbers of its suspension, the simplicial complex that involves two more vertices $n+1$ and $n+2$, is known. In this paper, with a constructive and simple proof, wegeneralize this result to find the minimal free resolution and Betti numbers of the $S$-module $S/I$ where $S=K[x_{1},cdots, x_{n}]$ and $I$ is the associated ideal to ...

متن کاملPersistent Betti numbers of random Čech complexes
We study the persistent homology of random Čech complexes. Generalizing a method of Penrose for studying random geometric graphs, we first describe an appropriate theoretical framework in which we can state and address our main questions. Then we define the kth persistent Betti number of a random Čech complex and determine its asymptotic order in the subcritical regime. This extends a result of...
متن کاملRandom Geometric Complexes
We study the expected topological properties of Čech and Vietoris-Rips complexes built on randomly sampled points in R. These are, in some cases, analogues of known results for connectivity and component counts for random geometric graphs. However, an important difference in this setting is that homology is not monotone in the underlying parameter. In the sparse range, we compute the expectatio...
متن کاملLascoux-style Resolutions and the Betti Numbers of Matching and Chessboard Complexes
This paper generalizes work of Lascoux and Jo zeeak-Pragacz-Weyman computing the characteristic zero Betti numbers in minimal free resolutions of ideals generated by 2 2 minors of generic matrices and generic symmetric matrices, respectively. In the case of 2 2 minors, the quotients of certain polynomial rings by these ideals are the classical Segre and quadratic Veronese subalgebras, and we co...
