Interleaving distances are used widely in Topological Data Analysis (TDA) as a tool for comparing topological signatures of datasets. The theory of interleaving distances has been extended through various category-theoretic constructions,…

The theory of persistence, which arises from topological data analysis, has been intensively studied in the one-parameter case both theoretically and in its applications. However, its extension to the multi-parameter case raises numerous…

We provide a definition of ephemeral multi-persistent modules and prove that the quotient of persistent modules by the ephemeral ones is equivalent to the category of $\gamma$-sheaves. In the case of one-dimensional persistence, our…

We give formulas for calculating the interleaving distance between rectangle persistence modules that depend solely on the geometry of the underlying rectangles. Moreover, we extend our results to calculate the bottleneck distance for…

Persistence modules that decompose into interval modules are important in topological data analysis because we can interpret such intervals as the lifetime of topological features in the data. We can classify the settings in which…

The interleaving distance is arguably the most widely used metric in topological data analysis (TDA) due to its applicability to a wide array of inputs of interest, such as (multiparameter) persistence modules, Reeb graphs, merge trees, and…

The persistence diagram of Cohen-Steiner, Edelsbrunner, and Harer was recently generalized by Patel to the case of constructible persistence modules with values in a symmetric monoidal category with images. Patel also introduced a distance…

The interleaving distance, although originally developed for persistent homology, has been generalized to measure the distance between functors modeled on many posets or even small categories. Existing theories require that such a poset…

In topological data analysis persistence modules are used to distinguish the legitimate topological features of a finite data set from noise. Interleavings between persistence modules feature prominantly in the analysis. One can show that…

In this work, we present a generalization of extended persistent homology to filtrations of graded sub-groups by defining relative homology in this setting. Our work provides a more comprehensive and flexible approach to get an algebraic…

The homotopy interleaving distance, a distance between persistent spaces, was introduced by Blumberg and Lesnick and shown to be universal, in the sense that it is the largest homotopy-invariant distance for which sublevel-set filtrations…

We show that computing the interleaving distance between two multi-graded persistence modules is NP-hard. More precisely, we show that deciding whether two modules are $1$-interleaved is NP-complete, already for bigraded, interval…

Persistence diagrams (PDs) are used as signatures of point cloud data. Two clouds of points can be compared using the bottleneck distance d_B between their PDs. A potential drawback of this pipeline is that point clouds sampled from…
