Euler and Betti curves are stable under Wasserstein deformations of distributions of stochastic processes

Abstract

Euler and Betti curves of stochastic processes defined on a $d$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold which are almost surely in a Sobolev space $W^{n,s}(X,\mathbb{R})$ (with $d<n$) are stable under perturbations of the distributions of said processes in a Wasserstein metric. Moreover, Wasserstein stability is shown to hold for all $p>\frac{d}{n}$ for persistence diagrams stemming from functions in $W^{n,s}(X,\mathbb{R})$.
