Persistence modules are a central algebraic object arising in topological data analysis. The notion of interleaving provides a natural way to measure distances between persistence modules. We consider various classes of persistence modules,…

We improve and extend persistence spheres, introduced in~\cite{pegoraro2025persistence}. Persistence spheres map an integrable measure $\mu$ on the upper half-plane, including persistence diagrams (PDs) as counting measures, to a function…

This paper studies the homotopy-type of bi-filtrations of compact manifolds induced as the pre-image of filtrations of the plane for generic smooth functions f : M --> R^2. The primary goal of the paper is to allow for a simple description…

This is a note on the graphs of two smooth real-valued functions in the plane with no intersection and the natural map onto the region surrounded by them with the canonical projection to the line composed, yielding its Reeb space. The Reeb…

Graph manifolds form important classes of $3$-dimensional closed and orientable manifolds. For example, {\it Seifert} manifolds are graph manifolds where hyperbolic manifolds are not. In applying singularity theory of differentiable maps to…

Multidimensional persistence modules do not admit a concise representation analogous to that provided by persistence diagrams for real-valued functions. However, there is no obstruction for multidimensional persistent Betti numbers to admit…

We introduce the notion of a Morse sequence, which provides a simple and effective approach to discrete Morse theory. A Morse sequence is a sequence composed solely of two elementary operations, that is, expansions (the inverse of a…

A method to apply and visualize persistent homology of time series is proposed. The method captures persistent features in space and time, in contrast to the existing procedures, where one usually chooses one while keeping the other fixed.…

In this paper we present a new approach to computing homology (with field coefficients) and persistent homology. We use concepts from discrete Morse theory, to provide an algorithm which can be expressed solely in terms of simple graph…

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…

Based on Morse theory for the energy functional on path spaces we develop a deformation theory for mapping spaces of spheres into orthogonal groups. This is used to show that these mapping spaces are weakly homotopy equivalent, in a stable…
