In this paper, we investigate the order algebraic structure in the category of sheaves on a given locale $X$. Since every localic topos has a generating set formed by its subterminal objects, we define a "point" of a partially ordered sheaf…

In this paper, we consider the simplest class of stratified spaces -- linearly embedded graphs. We present an algorithm that learns the abstract structure of an embedded graph and models the specific embedding from a point cloud sampled…

Combinatorial and topological structures, such as graphs, simplicial complexes, and cell complexes, form the foundation of geometric and topological deep learning (GDL and TDL) architectures. These models aggregate signals over such…

We introduce and investigate the concept of Stratified Algebra, a new algebraic framework equipped with a layer-based structure on a vector space. We formalize a set of axioms governing intra-layer and inter-layer interactions, study their…

Sheaf Neural Networks (SNNs) naturally extend Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) by endowing a cellular sheaf over the graph, equipping nodes and edges with vector spaces and defining linear mappings between them. While the attached geometric…

This paper is a continuation of ``Operads, Grothendieck topologies and deformation theory'' (alg-geom/9502010). We show how to develop a cohomology theory that would control deformations of a sheaf of associative algebras over a scheme by…

In this paper, we propose a stratified sampling algorithm in which the random drawings made in the strata to compute the expectation of interest are also used to adaptively modify the proportion of further drawings in each stratum. These…

We initiate the study of sheaves on Cech closure spaces, providing a new, unified approach to sheaf theory on many of the major classes of spaces of interest to applications: topological spaces, finite simplicial complexes (seen as $T_0$…

We introduce new foundations for relative topos theory based on stacks. One of the central results in our theory is an adjunction between the category of toposes over the topos of sheaves on a given site $({\mathcal{C}}, J)$ and that of…

We propose a novel tree-like curvilinear structure reconstruction algorithm based on supervised learning and graph theory. In this work we analyze image patches to obtain the local major orientations and the rankings that correspond to the…

We study the cohomology theory of sheaf complexes for open embeddings of topological spaces and related subjects. The theory is situated in the intersection of the general Cech theory and the theory of derived categories. That is to say, on…

Cellular sheaves equip graphs with a "geometrical" structure by assigning vector spaces and linear maps to nodes and edges. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) implicitly assume a graph with a trivial underlying sheaf. This choice is reflected in…

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…

The aim of this paper is to give a unifying description of various constructions (subanalytic, semialgebraic, o-minimal site) using the notion of T-topology. We then study the category of T-sheaves.

While the manifold hypothesis is widely adopted in modern machine learning, complex data is often better modeled as stratified spaces -- unions of manifolds (strata) of varying dimensions. Stratified learning is challenging due to varying…

The compression of geometric structures is a relatively new field of data compression. Since about 1995, several articles have dealt with the coding of meshes, using for most of them the following approach: the vertices of the mesh are…
