Convergence of Leray Cosheaves for Decorated Mapper Graphs

Algebraic Topology 2023-05-08 v2

Abstract

We introduce decorated mapper graphs as a generalization of mapper graphs capable of capturing more topological information of a data set. A decorated mapper graph can be viewed as a discrete approximation of the cellular Leray cosheaf over the Reeb graph. We establish a theoretical foundation for this construction by showing that the cellular Leray cosheaf with respect to a sequence of covers converges to the actual Leray cosheaf as the resolution of the covers goes to zero.
