| contents | In this work, we study the evolution of Betti curves obtained by persistent-homological analysis of point clouds formed by halos in different cosmological $N$-body simulations. We show that they can be approximated with a scaled log-normal distribution function with reasonable precision. Our analysis shows that the shapes and maximums of Betti curves exhibit dependence on the mass range of the selected subpopulation of halos. Still, at the same time, the resolution of a simulation does not play any significant role, provided that the mass distribution of simulated halos is complete down to a given mass scale. Besides, we study how Betti curves change with the evolution of the Universe, i.e., their dependence on redshift. Sampling subpopulations of halos within certain mass ranges up to redshift $z=2.5$ yields a surprisingly small difference between corresponding Betti curves. We propose that this may be an indicator of the existence of a new specific topological invariant in the structure of the Universe. |
