The homology torsion growth of determinantal hypertrees

Abstract

Fix a dimension $d\ge 2$, and let $T_n$ be a random $d$-dimensional determinantal hypertree on $n$ vertices. We prove that \[\frac{\log|H_{d-1}(T_n,\mathbb{Z})|}{{{n\choose {d}}}}\] converges in probability to a constant $c_d$, which satisfies \[\frac{1}2 \log\left(\frac{d+1}e\right)\le c_d\le \frac{1}2 \log\left(d+1\right) .\]
