We investigate dynamical analogues of the $L^2$-Betti numbers for modules over integral group ring of a discrete sofic group. In particular, we show that the $L^2$-Betti numbers exactly measure the failure of addition formula for dynamical invariants.

We apply a construction developed in a previous paper by the authors in order to obtain a formula which enables us to compute $ell^2$-Betti numbers coming from a family of group algebras representable as crossed product algebras. As an application, we obtain a whole family of irrational $ell^2$-Betti numbers arising from the lamplighter group algebra $K[mathbb{Z}_2 wr mathbb{Z}]$, being $K$ a subfield of the complex numbers closed under complex conjugation. This procedure is constructive, in the sense that one has an explicit description of the elements realizing such irrational numbers. This extends the work made by Grabowski, who first computed irrational $ell^2$-Betti numbers from the algebras $mathbb{Q}[mathbb{Z}_n wr mathbb{Z}]$, where $n geq 2$ is a natural number. We also apply the techniques developed to the (generalized) odometer algebra $mathcal{O}(overline{n})$, where $overline{n}$ is a supernatural number. We compute its $*$-regular closure, and this allows us to fully characterize the set of $ell^2$-Betti numbers arising from $mathcal{O}(overline{n})$.
There have been several recent articles studying homology of various types of random simplicial complexes. Several theorems have concerned thresholds for vanishing of homology, and in some cases expectations of the Betti numbers. However little seems known so far about limiting distributions of random Betti numbers. In this article we establish Poisson and normal approximation theorems for Betti numbers of different kinds of random simplicial complex: ErdH{o}s-Renyi random clique complexes, random Vietoris-Rips complexes, and random v{C}ech complexes. These results may be of practical interest in topological data analysis.
We correct the proofs of the main theorems in our paper Limit theorems for Betti numbers of random simplicial complexes.
We introduce a multiscale topological description of the Megaparsec weblike cosmic matter distribution. Betti numbers and topological persistence offer a powerful means of describing the rich connectivity structure of the cosmic web and of its multiscale arrangement of matter and galaxies. Emanating from algebraic topology and Morse theory, Betti numbers and persistence diagrams represent an extension and deepening of the cosmologically familiar topological genus measure, and the related geometric Minkowski functionals. In addition to a description of the mathematical background, this study presents the computational procedure for computing Betti numbers and persistence diagrams for density field filtrations. The field may be computed starting from a discrete spatial distribution of galaxies or simulation particles. The main emphasis of this study concerns an extensive and systematic exploration of the imprint of different weblike morphologies and different levels of multiscale clustering in the corresponding computed Betti numbers and persistence diagrams. To this end, we use Voronoi clustering models as templates for a rich variety of weblike configurations, and the fractal-like Soneira-Peebles models exemplify a range of multiscale configurations. We have identified the clear imprint of cluster nodes, filaments, walls, and voids in persistence diagrams, along with that of the nested hierarchy of structures in multiscale point distributions. We conclude by outlining the potential of persistent topology for understanding the connectivity structure of the cosmic web, in large simulations of cosmic structure formation and in the challenging context of the observed galaxy distribution in large galaxy surveys.
Given a torus $E = S^{1} times S^{1}$, let $E^{times}$ be the open subset of $E$ obtained by removing a point. In this paper, we show that the $i$-th singular Betti number $h^{i}(mathrm{Conf}^{n}(E^{times}))$ of the unordered configuration space of $n$ points on $E^{times}$ can be computed as a coefficient of an explicit rational function in two variables. Our proof uses Delignes mixed Hodge structure on the singular cohomology $H^{i}(mathrm{Conf}^{n}(E^{times}))$ with complex coefficients, by considering $E$ as an elliptic curve over complex numbers. Namely, we show that the mixed Hodge structure of $H^{i}(mathrm{Conf}^{n}(E^{times}))$ is pure of weight $w(i)$, an explicit integer we provide in this paper. This purity statement will imply our main result about the singular Betti numbers. We also compute all the mixed Hodge numbers $h^{p,q}(H^{i}(mathrm{Conf}^{n}(E^{times})))$ as coefficients of an explicit rational function in four variables.
