Traditional game theory evaluates equilibrium stability through algebraic inequalities, often ignoring the underlying network architecture. This framework bridges that gap by mapping the coalitional landscape of cooperative games into the language of persistent homology. By constructing a Vietoris-Rips filtration over a payoff-distance space, the authors identify cooperation holes: homological features that represent robust structural patterns within social networks that survive exogenous shocks.
