Large random simplicial complexes, I
A. Costa, Michael Färber · Journal of Topology and Analysis · 2015
In this paper we introduce and develop the multi-parameter model of random simplicial complexes with randomness present in all dimensions. Various geometric and topological properties of such random simplicial complexes are characterised by convex domains in the high-dimensional parameter space (rather than by intervals, as in the usual one-parameter models). We find conditions under which a multi-parameter random simplicial complex is connected and simply connected. Besides, we give an intrinsic characterisation of the multi-parameter probability measure. We analyse links of simplexes and intersections of multi-parameter random simplicial complexes and show that they are also multi-parameter random simplicial complexes.
