In this paper we present a new approach to computing homology (with field coefficients) and persistent homology. We use concepts from discrete Morse theory, to provide an algorithm which can be expressed solely in terms of simple graph…
In this paper, we consider topological featurizations of data defined over simplicial complexes, like images and labeled graphs, obtained by convolving this data with various filters before computing persistence. Viewing a convolution…
In this short review we introduce group field theory, a particular class of random tensor models, which represents nowadays one of the candidates for a fundamental theory of quantum gravity. We insist on the combinatorial richness of…
The connection matrix is a powerful algebraic topological tool from Conley index theory that captures relationships between isolated invariant sets. Conley index theory is a topological generalization of Morse theory in which the connection…
Topological abstractions offer a method to summarize the behavior of vector fields but computing them robustly can be challenging due to numerical precision issues. One alternative is to represent the vector field using a discrete approach,…
These notes follow my articles [1, 6], and give some new important details. We propose here a new combinatorial method of encoding of measure spaces with measure preserving transformations, (or groups of transformations) in order to give…
We introduce the notion of a template for discrete Morse theory. Templates provide a memory efficient approach to the computation of homological invariants (e.g., homology, persistent homology, Conley complexes) of cell complexes. We…
We use nonstandard methods, based on iterated hyperextensions, to develop applications to Ramsey theory of the theory of monads of ultrafilters. This is performed by studying in detail arbitrary tensor products of ultrafilters, as well as…
The Conley index of an isolated invariant set is a fundamental object in the study of dynamical systems. Here we consider smooth functions on closed submanifolds of Euclidean space and describe a framework for inferring the Conley index of…
We discuss the covariant formulation of the dynamics of particles with abelian and non-abelian gauge charges in external fields. Using this formulation we develop an algorithm for the construction of constants of motion, which makes use of…
This article is devoted to a description of the dynamics of the phase flow of monotone contact Hamiltonian systems. Particular attention is paid to locating the maximal attractor (or repeller), which could be seen as the union of compact…
We propose to compute approximations to general invariant sets in dynamical systems by minimizing the distance between an appropriately selected finite set of points and its image under the dynamics. We demonstrate, through computational…
An approach is shown that proves various theorems of plane geometry in an algorithmic manner. The approach affords transparent proofs of a generalization of the Theorem of Morley and other well known results by casting them in terms of…
We study the theory of systems with constraints from the point of view of the formal theory of partial differential equations. For finite-dimensional systems we show that the Dirac algorithm completes the equations of motion to an…
We introduce topological invariants of semi-decompositions (e.g. filtrations, semi-group actions, multi-valued dynamical systems, combinatorial dynamical systems) on a topological space to analyze semi-decompositions from a dynamical…
The perturbative expansion of tensorial field theories in Feynman graphs can be interpreted as weighted generating series of some piecewise linear varieties. This simple fact establishes a link between two a priori distinct fields: the…
