For any persistence module $M$ over a finite poset $\mathbf{P}$, and any interval $I$ of $\mathbf{P}$, we give a formula for the multiplicity $d_M(V_I)$ of the interval module $V_I$ in the indecomposable decomposition of $M$ in terms of the…

We characterize the class of persistence modules indexed over $\mathbb{R}^2$ that are decomposable into summands whose support have the shape of a {\em block}---i.e. a horizontal band, a vertical band, an upper-right quadrant, or a…

We develop some aspects of the homological algebra of persistence modules, in both the one-parameter and multi-parameter settings, considered as either sheaves or graded modules. The two theories are different. We consider the graded module…

Multiparameter persistent homology has emerged as a powerful generalization of topological data analysis, capable of encoding multivariate filtrations. However, the algebraic complexity of multiparameter persistence modules, marked by wild…

A theory of modules over posets is developed to define computationally feasible, topologically interpretable data structures, in terms of birth and death of homology classes, for persistent homology with multiple real parameters. To replace…

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a field and let $V: \mathscr{C} \to \mathbf{k}\textup{-Mod}$ be a point-wise finite dimensional persistence modules, where $\mathscr{C}$ is a small category. Assume that for all local Artinian $\mathbf{k}$-algebras $R$…

We investigate the existence of sufficient local conditions under which poset representations decompose as direct sums of indecomposables from a given class. In our work, the indexing poset is the product of two totally ordered sets,…

For an $n \times n$ nonnegative matrix $P$, an isomorphism is obtained between the lattice of initial subsets (of ${1,...,n}$) for $P$ and the lattice of $P$-invariant faces of the nonnegative orthant $\IR^{n}_{+}$. Motivated by this…

We introduce Orthogonal M\"obius Inversion $\mathsf{OI}$, a concept analogous to M\"obius inversion on finite posets, which is applicable to order-preservings functions from a finite poset to the Grassmannian $\mathsf{Gr}(V)$ of an inner…

The study of persistent homology has contributed new insights and perspectives into a variety of interesting problems in science and engineering. Work in this domain relies on the result that any finitely-indexed persistence module of…

Barcodes form a complete set of invariants for interval decomposable persistence modules and are an important summary in topological data analysis. The set of barcodes is equipped with a canonical one-parameter family of metrics, the…

We define a class of invariants, which we call homological invariants, for persistence modules over a finite poset. Informally, a homological invariant is one that respects some homological data and takes values in the free abelian group…

Algebraic persistence studies persistence modules (typically, linear representations of the poset $\mathbf{R}^n$ with $n \geq 1$) and the algebraic relationships between persistence modules that are interleaved. The notion of…

Let A, B, S be categories, let F:A-->S and G:B-->S be functors. We assume that for "many" objects a in A, there exists an object b in B such that F(a) is isomorphic to G(b). We establish a general framework under which it is possible to…

Let $X(\RR)$ be a geometrically connected variety defined over $\RR$ and such that the set of all its (also complex) points $X(\CC)$ is non-degenerate. We introduce the notion of \emph{admissible rank} of a point $P$ with respect to $X$ to…

Let $G$ be an acylic directed graph. For each vertex $g \in G$, we define an involution on the independent sets of $G$. We call these involutions flips, and use them to define a new partial order on independent sets of $G$. Trim lattices…

We redevelop persistent homology (topological persistence) from a categorical point of view. The main objects of study are diagrams, indexed by the poset of real numbers, in some target category. The set of such diagrams has an interleaving…

The Lefschetz fixed point theorem follows easily from the identification of the Lefschetz number with the fixed point index. This identification is a consequence of the functoriality of the trace in symmetric monoidal categories. There are…

Persistence modules are representations of products of totally ordered sets in the category of vector spaces. They appear naturally in the representation theory of algebras, but in recent years they have also found applications in other…

Since persistence diagrams do not admit an inner product structure, a map into a Hilbert space is needed in order to use kernel methods. It is natural to ask if such maps necessarily distort the metric on persistence diagrams. We show that…
