Abstract

A recent work by Lesnick and Wright proposed a visualisation of 22D persistence modules by using their restrictions onto lines, giving a family of 11D persistence modules. We give a constructive proof that any 11D persistence module with finite support can be found as a restriction of some indecomposable 22D persistence module with finite support. As consequences of our construction, we are able to exhibit indecomposable 22D persistence modules whose support has holes as well as an indecomposable 22D persistence module containing all 11D persistence modules with finite support as line restrictions. Finally, we also show that any finite-rectangle-decomposable nnD persistence module can be found as a restriction of some indecomposable (n+1)(n+1)D persistence module.
