Thomas", "Takashi Owada" ], "categories": [ "math.PR" ], "abstract": "This study presents functional limit theorems for the Euler characteristic of Vietoris-Rips complexes. The points are drawn from a non-homogeneous Poisson process on $\\mathbb{R}^d$, and the connectivity radius governing the formation of simplices is taken as a function of time parameter $t$, which allows us to treat the Euler characteristic as a stochastic process. The setting in which this takes place is that of the critical regime, in which the simplicial complexes are highly connected and have non-trivial topology. We establish two \"functional-level\" limit theorems, a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem for the appropriately normalized Euler characteristic process.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-02T02:37:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F17", "55U10", "60C05", "60D05" ], "keywords": [ "functional limit theorems", "critical regime", "central limit theorem", "appropriately normalized euler characteristic process", "vietoris-rips complexes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
