The theory of multidimensional persistent homology was initially developed in the discrete setting, and involved the study of simplicial complexes filtered through an ordering of the simplices. Later, stability properties of…
We describe a new methodology for studying persistence of topological features across a family of spaces or point-cloud data sets, called zigzag persistence. Building on classical results about quiver representations, zigzag persistence…
In topological data analysis, persistent homology is used to study the "shape of data". Persistent homology computations are completely characterized by a set of intervals called a bar code. It is often said that the long intervals…
Persistent homology is a natural tool for probing the topological characteristics of weighted graphs, essentially focusing on their $0$-dimensional homology. While this area has been substantially studied, we present a new approach to…
Topological data analysis is becoming increasingly relevant to support the analysis of unstructured data sets. A common assumption in data analysis is that the data set is a sample---not necessarily a uniform one---of some high-dimensional…
In this paper we examine the use of topological methods for multivariate statistics. Using persistent homology from computational algebraic topology, a random sample is used to construct estimators of persistent homology. This estimation…

Persistent homology is a tool that can be employed to summarize the shape of data by quantifying homological features. When the data is an object in $\mathbb{R}^d$, the (augmented) persistent homology transform ((A)PHT) is a family of…
We introduce several geometric notions, including the width of a homology class, to the theory of persistent homology. These ideas provide geometric interpretations of persistence diagrams. Indeed, we give quantitative and geometric…
Observing critical phases in lattice models is challenging due to the need to analyze the finite time or size scaling of observables. We study how the computational topology technique of persistent homology can be used to characterize…

Persistent homology is a popular and powerful tool for capturing topological features of data. Advances in algorithms for computing persistent homology have reduced the computation time drastically -- as long as the algorithm does not…
A topos theoretic generalisation of the category of sets allows for modelling spaces which vary according to time intervals. Persistent homology, or more generally, persistence is a central tool in topological data analysis, which examines…
The concept of topological persistence, introduced recently in computational topology, finds applications in studying a map in relation to the topology of its domain. Since its introduction, it has been extended and generalized in various…
Recently, it was found that there is a remarkable intuitive similarity between studies in theoretical computer science dealing with large data sets on the one hand, and categorical methods of topology and geometry in pure mathematics, on…
