EULER INTEGRATION OF GAUSSIAN RANDOM FIELDSAND PERSISTENT HOMOLOGYOMER BOBROWSKI & MATTHEW STROM BORMAN

Presented by Roei Zohar

THE EULER INTEGRAL- REASONING

As we know, the Euler characteristic is an additive operator oncompact sets:

which reminds us of a measure

That is why it seems reasonable to define an integral with respect to this “measure”.

BABABA

THE EULER INTEGRAL- DRAWBACK

The main problem with this kind of integration is that the Euler characteristic is only finitely additive.

This is why under some conditions it can be defined for “constructible functions”

as

But we can’t go on from here approximating other functions using CF functions

EULER INTEGRAL - EXTENSIONS

We shall define another form of integration that will be more useful for calculations:

For a tame function the limits are well defined, but generally not equal.

This definition enable us to use the following useful proposition

EULER INTEGRAL - EXTENSIONS

The proof appears in [3]We will only use the upper Euler integral

EULER INTEGRAL - EXTENSIONS

We continue to derive the following Morse like expression for the integral:

FURTHER HELPFUL DEVELOPMENT

GAUSSIAN RANDOM FIELDS AND THE GAUSSIAN KINEMATIC FORMULA

Now we turn to show the GK formula which is

an explicit expression for the mean value of

all Lipschitz-Killing curvatures of excursion

sets for zero mean, constant value variance,

c², Gaussian random fields. We shall not go

into details, you can take a look in [2].

The metric here, under certain conditions is

Under this metric the L-K curvatures are computed in the GKF, and in it the manifold M is bounded

Now we are interested in computing the Euler integral of a Gaussian random field:

Let M be a stratified space and let be a Gaussian or Gaussian related random field.We are interested in computing the expected value of the Euler integral of the field g over M.

WEIGHTED SUM OF CRITICAL VALUES

The thing to note about the last result, is that

the expected value of a weighted sum of the

critical values scales like , a 1-

dimensional measure of M and not the

volume , as one might have expected. Remark: if we scale the metric by , then

INTRODUCTION : PERSISTENT HOMOLOGY

Persistent homology is a way of tracking how the homology of a sequence of spaces changes

Given a filtration of spaces such that

if s < t, the persistent homology of , ,consists of families of homology classes that ‘persist’ through time.

THE EXPECTED EULER CHARACTERISTIC OF THE PERSISTENT HOMOLOGY OF AGAUSSIAN RANDOM FIELD

In light of the connection between the

Euler

integral of a function and the Euler

characteristic of the function’s persistent

homology in place, we will now reinterpret

our computations about the expected Euler

integral of a Gaussian random field

The proof makes use of the following two expressions we saw before:

Computing is not usually possible, but in the case of a real random Gaussian field we can get around it and it comes out that:
