The dots are part of the generated text strings defined
in common/en.xml (or whatever lang you use) in the
stylesheet distribution.  In that
file, the <l:context name="title-numbered"> element has
entries like this:

<l:template name="chapter" text="Chapter&#160;%n.&#160;%t"/>
                                                ^
                                                ^

The %n is the number, and &#160; is non-breaking space.
You can customize these strings in a customization
layer as described in this doc:
