In topological data analysis, the notions of persistent homology, birthtime, lifetime, and deathtime are used to assign and capture relevant cycles (i.e., topological features) of a point cloud, such as loops and cavities. In particular,…
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…
In this paper, we offer a new perspective on persistent homology by integrating key concepts from metric geometry. For a given compact subset $\mathcal{X}$ of a Banach space $\mathbf{Y}$, we analyze the topological features arising in the…
We initiate the study of persistent homology of random geometric simplicial complexes. Our main interest is in maximally persistent cycles of degree-$k$ in persistent homology, for a either the \cech or the Vietoris--Rips filtration built…
In this paper we study the persistent homology associated with topological crackle generated by distributions with an unbounded support. Persistent homology is a topological and algebraic structure that tracks the creation and destruction…
Persistence diagrams are useful displays that give a summary information regarding the topological features of some phenomenon. Usually, only one persistence diagram is available, and replicated persistence diagrams are needed for…
In persistent homology analysis, interval modules play a central role in describing the birth and death of topological features across a filtration. In this work, we extend this setting, and propose the use of bipath persistent homology,…
This note proves that only a linear number of holes in a \v{C}ech complex of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can persist over an interval of constant length. Specifically, for any fixed dimension $p < d$ and fixed $\varepsilon > 0$, the number…
Charged extremal black holes cannot fully evaporate through the Hawking effect and are thus long lived. Over their lifetimes, these black holes take part in a variety of astrophysical processes, including many that lead to their eventual…
We study the homology of random \v{C}ech complexes generated by a homogeneous Poisson process. We focus on 'homological connectivity' - the stage where the random complex is dense enough, so that its homology "stabilizes" and becomes…
We study the persistent homology of an Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random clique complex filtration on $n$ vertices. Here, each edge $e$ appears at a time $p_e \in [0,1]$ chosen uniform randomly in the interval, and the \emph{persistence} of a cycle…
Persistent homology is a common technique in topological data analysis providing geometrical and topological information about the sample space. All this information, known as topological features, is summarized in persistence diagrams, and…
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…
Persistent homology is a method for probing topological properties of point clouds and functions. The method involves tracking the birth and death of topological features (2000) as one varies a tuning parameter. Features with short…
We study continuum percolation with disks, a variant of continuum percolation in two-dimensional Euclidean space, by applying tools from topological data analysis. We interpret each realization of continuum percolation with disks as a…
Computation of the simplicial complexes of a large point cloud often relies on extracting a sample, to reduce the associated computational burden. The study considers sampling critical points of a Morse function associated to a point cloud,…
In this paper, we prove a universality result for the limiting distribution of persistence diagrams arising from geometric filtrations over random point processes. Specifically, we consider the distribution of the ratio of persistence…
We apply modern methods in computational topology to the task of discovering and characterizing phase transitions. As illustrations, we apply our method to four two-dimensional lattice spin models: the Ising, square ice, XY, and…
Recently, multi-scale notions of local homology (a variant of persistent homology) have been used to study the local structure of spaces around a given point from a point cloud sample. Current reconstruction guarantees rely on constructing…
The computational cost of persistent homology is often dominated by the growth of the underlying simplicial filtrations. Many different filtrations exist, each with its own assumptions and trade-offs, but all face some form of this growth…
