      In this paper the expected topological properties are investigated for Čech and Vietoris-Rips complexes built on random points in \(\mathbb R^d\). In particular are identified intervals of vanishing and non-vanishing for each homology group, and asymptotic formulas for the expected rank of homology are determined when this is non-vanishing. There is also a close connection to geometric probability, and in particular to the theory of geometric random graphs. The main technical contribution of the article is the application of discrete Morse theory in geometric probability. Several motivations and comments are also provided in the interesting introductory section
