Nearness theory comes into play in homotopy theory because the notion of closeness between points is essential in determining whether two spaces are homotopy equivalent. While nearness theory and homotopy theory have different focuses and…
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…
We study the foundational properties of persistent homotopy groups and develop elementary computational methods for their analysis. Our main theorems are persistent analogues of the Van Kampen, excision, suspension, and Hurewicz theorems.…
We introduce two new distances for zigzag persistence modules. The first uses Auslander-Reiten quiver theory, and the second is an extension of the classical interleaving distance. Both are defined over completely general orientations of…
The luminosity distance can be used to determine the properties of large scale structure around the observer. To this purpose we develop a new inversion method to map luminosity distance to a LTB metric based on the use of the exact…
The {\em bottleneck distance} is a natural measure of the distance between two finite point sets of equal cardinality, defined as the minimum over all bijections between the point sets of the maximum distance between any pair of points put…
The present lack of a stable method to compare persistent homology groups with torsion is a relevant problem in current research about Persistent Homology and its applications in Pattern Recognition. In this paper we introduce a…
We prove the existence of global minimizers to the double minimization problem \[ \inf\Big\{ P(E) + \lambda W_p(\mathcal{L}^n \lfloor \, E,\mathcal{L}^n \lfloor\, F) \colon |E \cap F| = 0, \, |E| = |F| = 1\Big\}, \] where $P(E)$ denotes the…
We present a generalization of the induced matching theorem and use it to prove a generalization of the algebraic stability theorem for $\mathbb{R}$-indexed pointwise finite-dimensional persistence modules. Via numerous examples, we show…
We prove two general decomposition theorems for fixed-point invariants: one for the Lefschetz number and one for the Reidemeister trace. These theorems imply the familiar additivity results for these invariants. Moreover, the proofs of…
What is the distance between two points in spacetime? This is a basic geometric question, which so far has no single, definitive answer. Unlike their Riemannian cousins, Lorentzian manifolds are not known to carry a canonical distance…
We study the local preservation of Birkhoff-James orthogonality by linear operators between normed linear spaces, at a point and in a particular direction. We obtain a complete characterization of the same, which allows us to present…
Techniques from metric geometry have become fundamental tools in modern mathematical data science, providing principled methods for comparing datasets modeled as finite metric spaces. Two of the central tools in this area are the…
In this paper, we present a novel interpretation of the so-called Weisfeiler-Lehman (WL) distance, introduced by Chen et al. (2022), using concepts from stochastic processes. The WL distance aims at comparing graphs with node features, has…
The persistence diagram of Cohen-Steiner, Edelsbrunner, and Harer was recently generalized by Patel to the case of constructible persistence modules with values in a symmetric monoidal category with images. Patel also introduced a distance…
In this article, we consider extended tame persistence commutative differential graded algebras (CDGAs) associated with relative Sullivan algebras. In particular, if the relative Sullivan algebra is a model for a map between spaces, then…
The concept of natural pseudo-distance has proven to be a powerful tool for measuring the dissimilarity between topological spaces endowed with continuous real-valued functions. Roughly speaking, the natural pseudo-distance is defined as…
Comparison between multidimensional persistent Betti numbers is often based on the multidimensional matching distance. While this metric is rather simple to define and compute by considering a suitable family of filtering functions…
Optimal Transport (OT) metrics allow for defining discrepancies between two probability measures. Wasserstein distance is for longer the celebrated OT-distance frequently-used in the literature, which seeks probability distributions to be…
We study fibred spaces with fibres in a structure category $\V$ and we show that cellular approximation, Blakers--Massey theorem, Whitehead theorems, obstruction theory, Hurewicz homomorphism, Wall finiteness obstruction, and Whitehead…
