Extremal Betti numbers of Vietoris-Rips complexes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Upper bounds on the topological Betti numbers of Vietoris-Rips complexes are established, and examples of such complexes with high Betti numbers are given.


Given a finite set of points \(S\subset \mathbb{R}^d\), let \(R(S)\) be the Vietoris-Rips complex, whose simplices are the subsets of \(S\) with diameter at most \(1\). The main goal of the paper under review is to determine the maximum Betti numbers, over an arbitrary field, of \(R(S)\) in terms of the cardinality of \(S\) and \(d\).
