Strong universality of persistent homology ell-values

Let S\mathbb{S} be a sampling model in the class U\mathcal{U}. For a complex type T\mathcal{T} and homological degree k1k\geq 1, let Ln\mathcal{L}_n be the empirical measure of the persistent \ell-values. Strong universality conjecture. For every SU\mathbb{S}\in\mathcal{U}, every k1k\geq1, and T{Cˇech,Rips}\mathcal{T}\in\{\text{Čech},\text{Rips}\},

limnLn=L,\lim_{n\to\infty}\mathcal{L}_n=\mathcal{L}^*,

where L\mathcal{L}^* is independent of S\mathbb{S}, T\mathcal{T}, and kk. This conjecture formalizes the experimentally observed universality across iid, non-iid, dynamical, and real-data sampling models; the class U\mathcal{U} is intended to comprise a wide range of such models.
