This paper studies the magnitude homology groups of geodesic metric spaces. We start with a description of the second magnitude homology of a general metric space in terms of the zeroth homology groups of certain simplicial complexes. Then,…

Magnitude homology of enriched categories, and in particular of metric spaces, was recently introduced by T. Leinster and M. Shulman. In this article, we prove that metric spaces satisfying a reasonably mild condition have vanishing…

We study the use of the Euler characteristic for multiparameter topological data analysis. Euler characteristic is a classical, well-understood topological invariant that has appeared in numerous applications, including in the context of…

We investigate \emph{magnitude} as a new unary and strictly Pareto-compliant quality indicator for finite approximation sets to the Pareto front in multiobjective optimization. Magnitude originates in enriched category theory and metric…

Latent space matching, which consists of matching distributions of features in latent space, is a crucial component for tasks such as adversarial attacks and defenses, domain adaptation, and generative modelling. Metrics for probability…

Magnitude and (co)weightings are quite general constructions in enriched categories, yet they have been developed almost exclusively in the context of Lawvere metric spaces. We construct a meaningful notion of magnitude for flow graphs…

Motivated by persistent homology and topological data analysis, we consider formal sums on a metric space with a distinguished subset. These formal sums, which we call persistence diagrams, have a canonical 1-parameter family of metrics…

The notion of the magnitude of a metric space was introduced by Leinster in [8] and developed in [10], [9], [11] and [16], but the magnitudes of familiar sets in Euclidean space are only understood in relatively few cases. In this paper we…

Magnitude is a numerical invariant of compact metric spaces, originally inspired by category theory and now known to be related to myriad other geometric quantities. Generalizing earlier results in $\ell_1^n$ and Euclidean space, we prove…

\"Uberhomology is a recently defined homology theory for simplicial complexes, which yields subtle information on graphs. We prove that bold homology, a certain specialisation of \"uberhomology, is related to dominating sets in graphs. To…

The purpose of this article is twofold. Firstly, we use the next-token probabilities given by a language model to explicitly define a category of texts in natural language enriched over the unit interval, in the sense of Bradley, Terilla,…
