Geometric and probabilistic limit theorems in topological data analysis (Q820915)

This work is in the framework of the probabilistic analysis of random finite point clouds in the context of topological data analysis. The authors extend the notion of a barcode of a finite point cloud to compact metric spaces. They especially prove that the barcodes of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables sampled from a compact metric space converge to the barcode of the support of their distribution when the number of points goes to infinity.
