Persistent homology studies the evolution of k-dimensional holes along a nested sequence of simplicial complexes (called a filtration). The set of bars (i.e. intervals) representing birth and death times of k-dimensional holes along such…
Classical methods to model topological properties of point clouds, such as the Vietoris-Rips complex, suffer from the combinatorial explosion of complex sizes. We propose a novel technique to approximate a multi-scale filtration of the Rips…
We extend the persistence algorithm, viewed as an algorithm computing the homology of a complex of free persistence or graded modules, to complexes of modules that are not free. We replace persistence modules by their presentations and…
We study the dual complexes of boundary divisors in log resolutions of compactifications of algebraic varieties and show that the homotopy types of these complexes are independent of all choices. Inspired by recent developments in…
The persistent homology with coefficients in a field F coincides with the same for cohomology because of duality. We propose an implementation of a recently introduced algorithm for persistent cohomology that attaches annotation vectors…
We propose a definition of persistent Stiefel-Whitney classes of vector bundle filtrations. It relies on seeing vector bundles as subsets of some Euclidean spaces. The usual \v{C}ech filtration of such a subset can be endowed with a vector…
The Vietoris-Rips complex, denoted $R_\beta(X)$, of a metric space $(X,d)$ at scale $\beta$ is an abstract simplicial complex where each $k$-simplex corresponds to $(k+1)$ points of $X$ within diameter $\beta$. For any abstract simplicial…
We define an invariant, which we call surface-complexity, of compact 3-manifolds by means of Dehn surfaces. The surface-complexity is a natural number measuring how much the manifold is complicated. We prove that it fulfils interesting…
Discrete Morse theory helps us compute the homology groups of simplicial complexes in an efficient manner. A "good" gradient vector field reduces the number of critical simplices, simplifying the homology calculations by reducing them to…
Simplicial complexes are higher-order combinatorial structures which have been used to represent real-world complex systems. In this paper, we concentrate on the local patterns in simplicial complexes called simplets, a generalization of…
Given a compact geodesic space $X$ we apply the fundamental group and alternatively the first homology group functor to the corresponding Rips or \v{C}ech filtration of $X$ to obtain what we call a persistence. This paper contains the…
We define and study several new interleaving distances for persistent cohomology which take into account the algebraic structures of the cohomology of a space, for instance the cup product or the action of the Steenrod algebra. In…
Let $V$ be a finite set. Let $\mathcal{K}$ be a simplicial complex with its vertices in $V$. In this paper, we discuss some differential calculus on $V$. We construct some constrained homology groups of $\mathcal{K}$ by using the…
We study the iterations of the procedure of taking the contact simplex. We define the concept of the root of the simplex, which is a homothety image of contact simplex with a special coefficient greater than 1. The article shows that once…
We treat the boundary problem for complex varieties with isolated singularities, of complex dimension greater than or equal to 3, non necessarily compact, which are contained in strongly convex, open subsets of a complex Hilbert space H. We…
Due to its many applications, \emph{curve simplification} is a long-studied problem in computational geometry and adjacent disciplines, such as graphics, geographical information science, etc. Given a polygonal curve $P$ with $n$ vertices,…
Persistent homology is a topological feature used in a variety of applications such as generating features for data analysis and penalizing optimization problems. We develop an approach to accelerate persistent homology computations…
The \v{C}ech complex is one of the most widely used tools in applied algebraic topology. Unfortunately, due to the inclusive nature of the \v{C}ech filtration, the number of simplices grows exponentially in the number of input points. A…
Persistent homology was shown by Carlsson and Zomorodian to be homology of graded chain complexes with coefficients in the graded ring $\kk[t]$. As such, the behavior of persistence modules -- graded modules over $\kk[t]$ is an important…
Present-day quantum field theory can be regularized by a decomposition into quantum simplices. This replaces the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space by a high-dimensional spinor space and singular canonical Lie groups by regular spin groups.…
