Decomposition of persistence modules

Representation Theory 2019-10-07 v3 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We show that a pointwise finite-dimensional persistence module indexed over a small category decomposes into a direct sum of indecomposables with local endomorphism rings. As an application of this result we give new, short proofs of fundamental structure theorems for persistence modules.
