We describe a "cellular" approach to the computation of the cohomology of a poset with coefficients in a presheaf. A cellular cochain complex is constructed, described explicitly and shown to compute the cohomology under certain…
We introduce a new algorithm for the structural analysis of finite abstract simplicial complexes based on local homology. Through an iterative and top-down procedure, our algorithm computes a stratification $\pi$ of the poset $P$ of…
We show how the classical notions of cohomology with local coefficients, CW-complex, covering space, homeomorphism equivalence, simple homotopy equivalence, tubular neighbourhood, and spinning can be encoded on a computer and used to…
A topological approach to stratification learning is developed for point cloud data drawn from a stratified space. Given such data, our objective is to infer which points belong to the same strata. First we define a multi-scale notion of a…
A theory of bisheaves has been recently introduced to measure the homological stability of fibers of maps to manifolds. A bisheaf over a topological space is a triple consisting of a sheaf, a cosheaf, and compatible maps from the stalks of…
The motivation of this work is to define cohomology classes in the space of knots that are both easy to find and to evaluate, by reducing the problem to simple linear algebra. We achieve this goal by defining a combinatorial graded cochain…
We describe a new algorithm for computing Whitney stratifications of complex projective varieties. The main ingredients are (a) an algebraic criterion, due to L\^e and Teissier, which reformulates Whitney regularity in terms of conormal…
The topology of periodic spaces has attracted a lot of interest in recent years in order to study and classify crystalline structures and other large homogeneous data sets, such as the distribution of galaxies in cosmology. In practice,…
Sheaves and sheaf cohomology are powerful tools in computational topology, greatly generalizing persistent homology. We develop an algorithm for simplifying the computation of cellular sheaf cohomology via (discrete) Morse-theoretic…
In this paper we consider the classification of minimal cellular structures of spaces of topological complexity two under some hypotheses on there graded cohomological algebra. This continues the method used by M.Grant et al. in [1].
Persistent (co)homology is a central construction in topological data analysis, where it is used to quantify prominence of features in data to produce stable descriptors suitable for downstream analysis. Persistence is challenging to…
A stratified space is a topological space equipped with a \emph{stratification}, which is a decomposition or partition of the topological space satisfying certain extra conditions. More recently, the notion of poset-stratified space, i.e.,…
Although random cell complexes occur throughout the physical sciences, there does not appear to be a standard way to quantify their statistical similarities and differences. The various proposals in the literature are usually motivated by…
We use the natural homeomorphism between a regular CW-complex X and its face poset P_X to establish a canonical isomorphism between the cellular chain complex of X and the result of applying the poset construction of arXiv:0806.4532v1 to…
We construct a pairing, which we call factorization homology, between framed manifolds and higher categories. The essential geometric notion is that of a vari-framing of a stratified manifold, which is a framing on each stratum together…
We present an algorithm which produces a decomposition of a regular cellular complex with a discrete Morse function analogous to the Morse-Smale decomposition of a smooth manifold with respect to a smooth Morse function. The advantage of…
The notion of cellular stratified spaces was introduced in a joint work of the author with Basabe, Gonz{\'a}lez, and Rudyak with the aim of constructing a cellular model of the configuration space of a sphere. Although the original aim was…
In this paper we propose a novel algorithm to combine two or more cellular complexes, providing a minimal fragmentation of the cells of the resulting complex. We introduce here the idea of arrangement generated by a collection of cellular…
A stratified space is a topological space together with a decomposition into strata corresponding to different types of singularities. Examples of such spaces appear everywhere in topology and geometry. The study of stratified spaces…
Samples from intimate (non-linear) mixtures are generally modeled as being drawn from a smooth manifold. Scenarios where the data contains multiple intimate mixtures with some constituent materials in common can be thought of as manifolds…
