| contents | In this paper, we explore the higher- and lower-order connectivity aspects of the visibility graph representation of sandpile models, focusing on the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld (BTW) model. By converting the time series of avalanche events into visibility graphs, we investigate the structural properties that emerge at different scales of connectivity. Specifically, we utilize persistent homology and simplicial complex theory to identify higher-order topological features. Analyzing the statistics of degree and betweenness centralities reveal that the resulting graph is a scale-free network with the degree exponent of $γ_k=2.50\pm 0.02$ and betweenness exponent of $γ_b=1.585\pm 0.008$. The analysis of the simplexes show that the distribution function of one, two and three dimensional simplexes are power-law with the exponents of $γ_{σ_1}=0.795\pm 0.006$, $γ_{σ_2}=0.602\pm 0.009$ and $γ_{σ_3}=0.422\pm 0.008$ respectively. This power-law behavior is also seen in the homology group analysis, for the Betti numbers, the exponents of which are reported in the paper. The persistent entropy of life time of $d$ dimensional holes is analyzed indicating that it increases logarithmically in terms of the network size $N$ for $d=0,1$ and $2$. |
