In this paper, we review a method for computing and parameterizing the set of homotopy classes of chain maps between two chain complexes. This is then applied to finding topologically meaningful maps between simplicial complexes, which in…

In this paper we introduce a primitive path homology theory on the category of simple digraphs. On the subcategory of asymmetric digraphs, this theory coincides with the path homology theory which was introduced by Grigor'yan, Lin, Muranov,…

A multipath in a directed graph is a disjoint union of paths. The multipath complex of a directed graph ${\tt G}$ is the simplicial complex whose faces are the multipaths of ${\tt G}$. We compute the Euler characteristic, and associated…

Simplicial complexes are extensively studied in the field of algebraic topology. They have gained attention in recent time due to their applications in fields like theoretical distributed computing and simplicial neural networks. Graphs are…

We prove that the category of directed graphs and graph maps carries a cofibration category structure in which the weak equivalences are the graph maps inducing isomorphisms on path homology.

In \cite{TY}, we investigate the pair $(P, \Supp(P))$ of minimal path $P$ and its supporting sub-digraph $\Supp(P)$ in the path complex of a digraph $G$ under the strongly regular condition. In this paper, first, we consider the special…

The aim of this paper is to give the geometric realization of regular path complexes via (co)homology groups with coefficients in a ring $R$. Concretely, for each regular path complex $P$, we associate it with a singular $\Delta$-complex…

We introduce a homotopy theory of digraphs (directed graphs) and prove its basic properties, including the relations to the homology theory of digraphs constructed by the authors in previous papers. In particular, we prove the homotopy…

We introduce a persistent Hochschild homology framework for directed graphs. Hochschild homology groups of (path algebras of) directed graphs vanish in degree $i\geq 2$. To extend them to higher degrees, we introduce the notion of…

The neighborhood complex of a graph was introduced by Lov\'asz to provide topological lower bounds on chromatic number. More general homomorphism complexes of graphs were further studied by Babson and Kozlov. Such `Hom complexes' are also…

Symmetric edge polytopes are a recent and well-studied family of centrally symmetric polytopes arising from graphs. In this paper, we introduce a generalization of this family to arbitrary simplicial complexes. We show how topological…

Cyclomatic complexity is an incompletely specified but mathematically principled software metric that can be usefully applied to both source and binary code. We consider the application of path homology as a stronger analogue of cyclomatic…

In real-world systems, the relationships and connections between components are highly complex. Real systems are often described as networks, where nodes represent objects in the system and edges represent relationships or connections…

Hypergraphs are mathematical models for many problems in data sciences. In recent decades, the topological properties of hypergraphs have been studied and various kinds of (co)homologies have been constructed (cf. [3, 4, 12]). In this…

To a digraph with a choice of certain integral basis, we construct a CW complex, whose integral singular cohomology is canonically isomorphic to the path cohomology of the digraph as introduced in \cite{GLMY}. The homotopy type of the CW…
