Abstract

Exploiting the Persistent Homology technique and its complementary representations, we examine the footprint of summed neutrino mass () in the various density fields simulated by the publicly available Quijote suite. The evolution of topological features by utilizing the super-level filtration on three-dimensional density fields at zero redshift, reveals a remarkable benchmark for constraining the cosmological parameters, particularly and . The abundance of independent closed surfaces (voids) compared to the connected components (clusters) and independent loops (filaments), is more sensitive to the presence of for Mpc irrespective of whether using the total matter density field () or CDM+baryons field (). Reducing the degeneracy between and is achieved via Persistent Homology for the field but not for the field. The uncertainty of at confidence interval from the joint analysis of Persistent Homology vectorization for the and fields smoothed by Mpc at reaches eV and eV, respectively. Noticing the use of the 3-dimensional underlying density field at , the mentioned uncertainties can be treated as the theoretical lower limits.
