contents Network centrality measures play a crucial role in understanding graph structures, assessing the importance of nodes, paths, or cycles based on directed or reciprocal interactions encoded by vertices and edges. Estrada and Ross extended these measures to simplicial complexes to account for higher-order connections. In this work, we introduce novel centrality measures by leveraging algebraically-computable topological signatures of cycles and their homological persistence. We apply tools from algebraic topology to extract multiscale signatures within cycle spaces of weighted graphs, tracking homology generators persisting across a weight-induced filtration of simplicial complexes built over point clouds. This approach incorporates persistent signatures and merge information of homology classes along the filtration, quantifying cycle importance not only by geometric and topological significance but also by homological influence on other cycles. We demonstrate the stability of these measures under small perturbations using an appropriate metric to ensure robustness in practical applications. Finally, we apply these measures to fractal-like point clouds, revealing their capability to detect information consistent with, and possibly overlooked by, common topological summaries.
