Abstract. This paper studies a higher dimensional generalization of Frieze's ζ(3)-limit theorem in the Erdös-Rényi graph process. Frieze's theorem states that the expected weight of the minimum spanning tree converges to ζ(3) as the number of vertices goes to infinity. In this paper, we study the dLinial-Meshulam process as a model for random simplicial complexes, where d = 1 corresponds to the Erdös-Rényi graph process. First, we define spanning acycles as a higher dimensional analogue of spanning trees, and connect its minimum weight to persistent homology. Then, our main result shows that the expected weight of the minimum spanning acycle behaves in O(n d−1 ).

“…* f.nobregasantos@amsterdamumc.nl On the one hand, research in stochastic topology, which started with Erdos and Reyni in [2], investigated the problem of tracking the emergence of a giant component in a random graph for a critical probability threshold. The above idea was rigorously extended by Kahle [3] and Linial [4] to simplicial complexes using methods of algebraic topology. In the language of algebraic topology, the generalization of the giant component transition constitutes a major change in the distribution of ndimensional holes, the so-called Betti numbers of a simplicial complex [3,4], which is a generalization of a graph.…”

In this work, we use methods and concepts of applied algebraic topology to comprehensively explore topological phase transitions in complex systems. Topological phase transitions are characterized by the zeros of the Euler characteristic (EC) or by singularities of the Euler entropy and also indicate signal changes in the mean node curvature of networks. Here, we provide strong evidence that the zeros of the Euler characteristic can be interpreted as a complex network's intrinsic fingerprint. We theoretically and empirically illustrate this across different biological networks: We first target our investigation to protein-protein interaction networks (PPIN). To do so, we used methods of topological data analysis to compute the Euler characteristic analytically, and the Betti numbers numerically as a function of the attachment probability for two variants of the Duplication Divergence model, namely the totally asymmetric model and the heterodimerization model. We contrast our theoretical results with experimental data freely available for gene co-expression networks (GCN) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, also known as baker's yeast, as well as of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Supporting our theoretical expectations, we are able to detect topological phase transitions in both networks obtained according to different similarity measures. Later, we theoretically illustrate the emergence of topological phase transitions in three classical network models, namely the Watts-Strogratz model, the Random Geometric Graph, and the Barabasi-Albert model. Given the universality and wide use of those models across disciplines, our results indicate that topological phase transitions may permeate across a wide range of theoretical and empirical networks. Hereby, our paper reinforces the idea of using topological phase transitions to advance the understanding of complex systems more generally.

Eigenvalue confinement and spectral gap for random simplicial complexes

We consider the adjacency operator of the Linial-Meshulam model for random simplicial complexes on n vertices, where each d-cell is added independently with probability p to the complete (d − 1)-skeleton. Under the assumption np(1 − p) log 4 n, we prove that the spectral gap between the n−1 d smallest eigenvalues and the remaining (1)) with high probability. This estimate follows from a more general result on eigenvalue confinement. In addition, we prove that the global distribution of the eigenvalues is asymptotically given by the semicircle law. The main ingredient of the proof is a Füredi-Komlós-type argument for random simplicial complexes, which may be regarded as sparse random matrix models with dependent entries.
