We define a simple, explicit map sending a morphism $f:M \rightarrow N$ of pointwise finite dimensional persistence modules to a matching between the barcodes of $M$ and $N$. Our main result is that, in a precise sense, the quality of this…

We study the persistent homology of both functional data on compact topological spaces and structural data presented as compact metric measure spaces. One of our goals is to define persistent homology so as to capture primarily properties…

The Quillen-McCord theorem (aka Quillen fiber lemma) gives a sufficient condition on a map between classifying spaces of posetal categories to be a homotopy equivalence. Jonathan Ariel Barmak in his paper [arXiv:1005.0538] gives an…

High order networks are weighted hypergraphs col- lecting relationships between elements of tuples, not necessarily pairs. Valid metric distances between high order networks have been defined but they are difficult to compute when the…

Given a function $f: \Xspace \to \Rspace$ on a topological space, we consider the preimages of intervals and their homology groups and show how to read the ranks of these groups from the extended persistence diagram of $f$. In addition, we…

Persistent homology is currently one of the more widely known tools from computational topology and topological data analysis. We present in this note a brief survey on the evolution of the subject. The goal is to highlight the main ideas,…

Actin cytoskeleton networks generate local topological signatures due to the natural variations in the number, size, and shape of holes of the networks. Persistent homology is a method that explores these topological properties of data and…

Persistence diagrams are common objects in the field of Topological Data Analysis. They are topological summaries that capture both topological and geometric structure within data. Recently there has been a surge of interest in developing…

One-dimensional persistent homology is arguably the most important and heavily used computational tool in topological data analysis. Additional information can be extracted from datasets by studying multi-dimensional persistence modules and…

We bring spaces over the classifying space $BS^1$ of the circle group $S^1$ to persistence theory via the singular cohomology with coefficients in a field. Then, the {\it cohomology} interleaving distance (CohID) between spaces over $BS^1$…

The persistence barcode is a topological descriptor of data that plays a fundamental role in topological data analysis. Given a filtration of data, the persistence barcode tracks the evolution of its homology groups. In this paper, we…

Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a novel statistical technique, particularly powerful for the analysis of large and high dimensional data sets. Much of TDA is based on the tool of persistent homology, represented visually via persistence…

In this article we establish some results that allow to deduce the continuity of homomorphisms of (topological) abelian groups from commutative diagrams. In particular, we present a new topological version of the classical Five-Lemma. These…

Topology applied to real world data using persistent homology has started to find applications within machine learning, including deep learning. We present a differentiable topology layer that computes persistent homology based on level set…

TDA (topological data analysis) is a relatively new area of research related to importing classical ideas from topology into the realm of data analysis. Under the umbrella term TDA, there falls, in particular, the notion of persistent…
