We generalise some results of R. E. Stong concerning finite spaces to wider subclasses of Alexandroff spaces. These include theorems on function spaces, cores and homotopy type. In particular, we characterize pairs of spaces X,Y such that…
For a smooth spacetime $X$, based on the timelike homotopy classes of its timelike paths, we define a topology on $X$ that refines the Alexandrov topology and always coincides with the manifold topology. The space of timelike or causal…
Random directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) based on imposing an order on Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi and scale free random graphs are widely used for evaluating causal discovery algorithms. We show that in such DAGs, the set of nodes reachable via open…
Recursive linear structural equation models and the associated directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) play an important role in causal discovery. The classic identifiability result for this class of models states that when only observational data…
An Alexandroff space is a topological space in which every intersection of open sets is open. There is one to one correspondence between Alexandroff $T_0$-spaces and partially ordered sets (posets). We investigate Alexandroff…
We provide a unified operational framework for the study of causality, non-locality and contextuality, in a fully device-independent and theory-independent setting. Our work has its roots in the sheaf-theoretic framework for contextuality…
Causal discovery, the learning of causality in a data mining scenario, has been of strong scientific and theoretical interest as a starting point to identify "what causes what?" Contingent on assumptions and a proper learning algorithm, it…
In 1920s R. L. Moore introduced \emph{upper semicontinuous} and \emph{lower semicontinuous} decompositions in studying decomposition spaces. Upper semicontinuous decompositions were studied very well by himself and later by R.H. Bing in…
Learning DAG structures from purely observational data remains a long-standing challenge across scientific domains. An emerging line of research leverages the score of the data distribution to initially identify a topological order of the…
Discovering causal relations from observational data becomes possible with additional assumptions such as considering the functional relations to be constrained as nonlinear with additive noise (ANM). Even with strong assumptions, causal…
The aim in many sciences is to understand the mechanisms that underlie the observed distribution of variables, starting from a set of initial hypotheses. Causal discovery allows us to infer mechanisms as sets of cause and effect…
Causal discovery combines data with knowledge provided by experts to learn the DAG representing the causal relationships between a given set of variables. When data are scarce, bagging is used to measure our confidence in an average DAG…
A stratified space is a topological space equipped with a \emph{stratification}, which is a decomposition or partition of the topological space satisfying certain extra conditions. More recently, the notion of poset-stratified space, i.e.,…
The theory of inverse spectra of $T_0$ Alexandroff topological spaces is used to construct a model of $T_0$-discrete four-dimensional spacetime. The universe evolution is interpreted in terms of a sequence of topology changes in the set of…
We show that basic homotopical notions such as homotopy sets and groups, connected and truncated maps, cellular constructions and skeleta, etc., extend to the setting of $(\infty,\infty)$-categories, as well as to presentable categories…
We develop a direct method to recover an orthoalgebra from its poset of Boolean subalgebras. For this a new notion of direction is introduced. Directions are also used to characterize in purely order-theoretic terms those posets that are…
A poset-stratified space is a pair $(S, S \xrightarrow \pi P)$ of a topological space $S$ and a continuous map $\pi: S \to P$ with a poset $P$ considered as a topological space with its associated Alexandroff topology. In this paper we show…
In this text we expose basic cases of some fundamental ideas and methods of topology. Namely, of homotopy, degree, fundamental group, covering, Whitehead invariant, etc. This is done by considering the elementary example: closed polygonal…
For a discrete poset $\mathcal X$ McCord proved that the natural map $|{\mathcal X}|\to {\mathcal X}$ from the order complex to the poset equipped with the Up topology is a weak homotopy equivalence. Much later, Zivaljevi\'{c} defined the…
Earlier an arbitrary poset $P$ was proved to be isomorphic to the collection of subsets of a space $M$ with two closures which are closed in the first closure and open in the other. As a space $M$ for this representation an algebraic dual…
