Sakovich--Sormani introduced several notions of distance between certain classes of Lorentzian manifolds. These distances use the Hausdorff and Gromov-Hausdorff distances and therefore extend naturally to a broader class of spaces. Here we…

We establish tight bi-Lipschitz bounds certifying quasi-universality (universality up to a constant factor) for various distances between Reeb graphs: the interleaving distance, the functional distortion distance, and the functional…

The notion of distance between a global Maxwellian function and an arbitrary solution $f$ (with the same total density $\rho$ at the fixed moment $t$) of Boltzmann equation is introduced. In this way we essentially generalize the important…

This short note establishes explicit and broadly applicable relationships between persistence-based distances computed locally and globally. In particular, we show that the bottleneck distance between two zigzag persistence modules…

In this work we test Wasserstein distance in conjunction with persistent homology, as a tool for discriminating large scale structures of simulated universes with different values of $\sigma_8$ cosmological parameter (present…

Persistent Topology studies topological features of shapes by analyzing the lower level sets of suitable functions, called filtering functions, and encoding the arising information in a parameterized version of the Betti numbers, i.e. the…

The sheaf-function correspondence identifies the group of constructible functions on a real analytic manifold $M$ with the Grothendieck group of constructible sheaves on $M$. When $M$ is a finite dimensional real vector space,…

In recent work, generalized persistence modules have proved useful in distinguishing noise from the legitimate topological features of a data set. Algebraically, generalized persistence modules can be viewed as representations for the poset…

One of the main reasons for topological persistence being useful in data analysis is that it is backed up by a stability (isometry) property: persistence diagrams of $1$-parameter persistence modules are stable in the sense that the…

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…

The interleaving distance is arguably the most widely used metric in topological data analysis (TDA) due to its applicability to a wide array of inputs of interest, such as (multiparameter) persistence modules, Reeb graphs, merge trees, and…

In this master thesis, we extend results from classical simple homotopy theory to the world of stratified homotopy theory. To obtain a well-established framework to work in, we prove a series of results on two model categories of simplicial…

This is the second of a series of papers which are devoted to a comprehensive theory of maps between orbifolds. In this paper, we develop a basic machinery for studying homotopy classes of such maps. It contains two parts: (1) the…

We show that the interleaving distance between the persistent singular homology and the persistent \v{C}ech homology of a homologically locally connected filtration consisting of paracompact Hausdorff spaces is 0.

In multi-parameter persistence, the matching distance is defined as the supremum of weighted bottleneck distances on the barcodes given by the restriction of persistence modules to lines with a positive slope. In the case of finitely…

One of the prime motivation for topology was Homotopy theory, which captures the general idea of a continuous transformation between two entities, which may be spaces or maps. In later decades, an algebraic formulation of topology was…

Persistent homology is a widely used tool in Topological Data Analysis that encodes multiscale topological information as a multi-set of points in the plane called a persistence diagram. It is difficult to apply statistical theory directly…

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.…
