(lecture delivered at the Congress of the Romanian mathematicians, Brasov, June 2011) Using graph representations a new class of computable topological invariants associated with a tame real or angle valued map were recently introduced,…
In this paper one presents a collection of results about the "bar codes" and "Jordan blocks" introduced by Burghelea-Day as "computer friendly" invariants of a tame angle-valued map and one relates these invariants to the Betti numbers,…
This paper but section 6 is essentially my lecture at The Eighth Congress of Romanian Mathematicians, June 26 - July 1, 2015, Iasi, Romania. The paper summarizes the definitions and the properties of the invariants associated to a real or…
We study circle valued maps and consider the persistence of the homology of their fibers. The outcome is a finite collection of computable invariants which answer the basic questions on persistence and in addition encode the topology of the…
In this paper we consider the definition of " monodromy of an angle valued map" based on linear relations as proposed in Burghelea-Haller (3). This definition provides an alternative treatment of monodromy and computationally an alternative…
This paper reviews the description of "bar codes" for a continuous real-valued map and explains how to recover the Morse complex of a Morse function from them. In this presentation the bar codes appear as the support of two vector-space…
We present a simplified exposition of some classical and modern results on graph drawings in the plane. These results are chosen so that they illustrate some spectacular recent higher-dimensional results on the border of topology and…
The cell complex structure is one of the most fundamental structures in topology and combinatorics, the Morse decomposition of a dynamical system analyzes the global gradient behavior, and the Reeb graph of a function is an elementary tool…
We extend the configurations discussed in Burghelea's book and Burghelea-Haller's paper on topology of angle-valued maps, equivalently the closed, open and closed-open bar codes from real- or angle-valued maps, to topological closed one…
We compare the invariants of flat vector bundles defined by Atiyah et al. and Jones et al. and prove that, up to weak homotopy, they induce the same map, denoted by $e$, from the $0$-connective algebraic $K$-theory space of the complex…
Stable topological invariants are a cornerstone of persistence theory and applied topology, but their discriminative properties are often poorly-understood. In this paper we study a rich homology-based invariant first defined by Dey, Shi,…
This paper introduces a novel topology, referred to as the star topology, on finite graphs. By treating vertices and edges as points in a unified space, we explore continuous maps between Bare representations of a graph and their…
The ring of graph invariants is spanned by the basic graph invariants which calculate the number of subgraphs isomorphic to a given graph in other graphs. These subgraphs counting invariants are not algebraically independent. In our view…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. On one hand, we introduce a modification of the dual canonical basis for invariant tensors of the 3-dimensional irreducible representation of $U_q(sl_2)$, given in terms of Jacobi diagrams, a central…
With a view towards providing tools for analyzing and understanding digitized images, various notions from algebraic topology have been introduced into the setting of digital topology. In the ordinary topological setting, invariants such as…
Given a finite group scheme $\cG$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $\Char(k)=p>0$, we introduce new invariants for a $\cG$-module $M$ by associating certain morphisms $\deg^j_M : U_M \lra \Gr_d(M) \ \…
We define and develop a homotopy invariant notion for the topological complexity of a map $f:X \to Y$, denoted TC($f$), that interacts with TC($X$) and TC($Y$) in the same way cat($f$) interacts with cat($X$) and cat($Y$). Furthermore,…
We study the analytic and topological invariants associated with complex normal surface singularities. Our goal is to provide topological formulae for several discrete analytic invariants whenever the analytic structure is generic (with…
For a graph $G$, a graph cubeahedron $\square_G$ and a graph associahedron $\triangle_G$ are simple convex polytopes which admit (real) toric manifolds. In this paper, we introduce a graph invariant, called the $b$-number, and we show that…
We define and develop a homotopy invariant notion for the sequential topological complexity of a map $f:X\to Y,$ denoted $TC_{r}(f)$, that interacts with $TC_{r}(X)$ and $TC_{r}(Y)$ in the same way Jamie Scott's topological complexity map…
