LSS/Cosmic web Topology/Homology (Euler chr., genus, Betti Numbers) Methods Models and Result Conclusions
The Cosmic Web Stochastic Spatial Pattern of Clusters, Filaments & Walls around Voids in which matter & galaxies have agglomerated through gravity
Why Cosmic Web? Physical Significance: Manifests mildly nonlinear clustering: Transition stage between linear phase and fully collapsed/virialized objects Weblike configurations contain cosmological information: e.g. Void shapes & alignments (recent study J. Lee 2007) Cosmic environment within which to understand the formation of galaxies.

Genus, Euler & Betti • For a surface with c components, the genus G specifies handles on • surface, and is related to the Euler characteristic () via: • where • Euler characteristic 3-D manifold & 2-D boundary manifold :
Genus, Euler & Betti • Euler – Poincare formula • Relationship between Betti Numbers & Euler Characteristic :
Cosmic Structure Homology • Complete quantitative characterization of homology in terms of • Betti Numbers • Betti number k: - rank of homology groups Hp of manifold • - number of k-dimensional holes of an • object or shape • 3-D object, e.g. density superlevel set: • 0: - independent components • 1: - independent tunnels • 2: - independent enclosed voids

The Cosmic Web • Web Discretely Sampled: • By far, most information • on the Cosmic Web concerns • discrete samples: • observational: • Galaxy Distribution • theoretical: • N-body simulation particles

Alphashapes • Exploiting the topological information contained in the Delaunay Tessellation of the galaxy distribution • Introduced by Edelsbrunner & collab. (1983, 1994) • Description of intuitive notion of the shape of a discrete point set • subset of the underlying triangulation
Delaunay simplices within spheres radius
DTFE • Delaunay Tessellation Field Estimator • Piecewise Linear representation • density & other discretely sampled fields • Exploits sample density & shape sensitivity of • Voronoi & Delaunay Tessellations • Density Estimates from contiguous Voronoi cells • Spatial piecewise linear interpolation by means of • Delaunay Tessellation
Persistence : search for topological reality Concept introduced by Edelsbrunner: Reality of features (eg. voids) determined on the basis of -interval between “birth” and “death” of features Pic courtsey H. Edelsbrunner
Persistence in the Cosmic Context • Natural description for hierarchical structure formation • Can probe structures at all cosmic-scale • Filtering mechanism – can be used to concentrate on structures persistent in a in a specific range of scales

LSS/Cosmic web Topology/Homology (Euler chr., genus, Betti Numbers) Methods Models and Result Conclusions
Betti Numbers • Signals from all scales in a multi-scale distribution – suitable for hierarchical LSS. • Signals from different morphological components of the LSS – discriminator for filamentary/wall-like topology. Persistence • Persistence as a probe for analyzing the systematics of matter distribution as a function of single parameter “life interval” (hierarchy) • Persistence robust against small scale noise • Data doesn’t need to be smoothed.
