Study derives spectral mechanism behind d+η scaling of topological gap in critical point clouds
A new theoretical paper explains analytically why the topological gap—measured as excess H1 total persistence of a critical point cloud relative to a density-matched null model—follows a d+η power law. The authors trace the effect to a spectral integral and provide the underlying mechanism, kernel, and decomposition of the scaling behavior.
