(1) Fixing i, for which values of p does the complex have nontrivial i-dimensional homology?
(2) Does the answer to (1) depend on the field or ring over which the homology is computed?
(3) For which values of p is the fundamental group nontrivial?
(4) What may a typical complex look like topologically? May it have many nontrivial homology groups, or only one or two?
All of these questions are more difficult than in the case of graphs, and some are still open. I will present a few representative results. This talk is inspired by Matt Kahle's recent paper: "Topology of random simplicial complexes: a survey" (arxiv:1301.7165).Poster session
