We prove sharper versions of theorems of Linial–Meshulam and Meshulam–Wallach which describe the behavior for (ℤ/2) ‐cohomology of a random k‐dimensional simplicial complex within a narrow transition window. In particular, we show that if Y is a random k‐dimensional simplicial complex with each k‐simplex appearing i.i.d. with probability p=klogn+cn, with k≥1 and c∈ℝ fixed, then the dimension of cohomology βk−1(Y) is asymptotically Poisson distributed with mean e−c/k! . In the k = 2 case we also prove that in an accompanying growth process, with high probability, Hk−1(Y,ℤ/2) vanishes exactly at the moment when the last (k−1) ‐simplex gets covered by a k‐simplex, a higher‐dimensional analogue of a “stopping time” theorem about connectivity of random graphs due to Bollobás and Thomason.
