A fractal is in essence a hierarchy with cascade structure, which can be described with a set of exponential functions. From these exponential functions, a set of power laws indicative of scaling can be derived. Hierarchy structure and…
Various simplicial complexes can be associated with a graph. Box complexes form an important families of such simplicial complexes and are especially useful for providing lower bounds on the chromatic number of the graph via some of their…
Simplicial homology is a classical tool that assigns a sequence of modules to a simplicial complex, providing invariants for the study of its topological properties. In this article, we introduce the notion of L-fuzzy simplicial homology, a…
Sheaf cohomology or, more generally, higher direct images of coherent sheaves along proper morphisms are central to modern algebraic geometry. However, the computation of these objects is a non-trivial and expensive task which easily…
The higher Leray-Serre spectral sequence associated with a tower of fibrations represents a generalization of the classical Leray-Serre spectral sequence of a fibration. In this work, we present algorithms to compute higher Leray-Serre…
We give simple upper bounds for rational sectional category and use them to compute invariants of the type of Farber's topological complexity of rational spaces. In particular we show that the sectional category of formal morphisms reaches…
Symmetric homology is an analog of cyclic homology in which the cyclic groups are replaced by symmetric groups. The foundations for the theory of symmetric homology of algebras are developed in the context of crossed simplicial groups using…
A complex potential is a holomorphic function $\Omega:\mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}$ whose real and imaginary parts generate a pair of orthogonal foliations, representing the equipotential lines and the streamlines of $\dot{z} =…
We employ techniques from topological data analysis to model sensor networks. Our approach to sensor integration uses the topological method of sheaves over cell complexes. The internal consistency of data from individual sensors is…
We introduce a new `geometric realization' of an (abstract) simplicial complex, inspired by probability theory. This space (and its completion) is a metric space, which has the right (weak) homotopy type, and which can be compared with the…
A tower is a sequence of simplicial complexes connected by simplicial maps. We show how to compute a filtration, a sequence of nested simplicial complexes, with the same persistent barcode as the tower. Our approach is based on the coning…
Using the random complexes of Linial and Meshulam, we exhibit a large family of simplicial complexes for which, whenever affinely embedded into Euclidean space, the filling areas of simplicial cycles is greatly distorted. This phenomenon…
We provide a short introduction to the field of topological data analysis and discuss its possible relevance for the study of complex systems. Topological data analysis provides a set of tools to characterise the shape of data, in terms of…
In the simplicial theory of hypercoverings, we replace the indexing category $\Delta$ by the \emph{symmetric simplicial category} $\Delta S$ and study (a class of) $\Delta S$-hypercoverings, which we call \emph{spaces admitting symmetric…
A functorial semi-norm on singular homology is a collection of semi-norms on the singular homology groups of spaces such that continuous maps between spaces induce norm-decreasing maps in homology. Functorial semi-norms can be used to give…
This paper extends results of Hatcher and Vogtmann's work "Cerf Theory for Graphs" to ribbon graphs. Given an orientable, punctured and basepointed surface Sigma, we prove that the space of ribbon graphs that can be drawn in Sigma is…
Multisequences over finite fields play a pushing role in the applications that relate to parallelization, such as word-based stream ciphers and pseudorandom vector generation. It is interesting to study the complexity measures for…
A simplicial complex is a set equipped with a down-closed family of distinguished finite subsets. This structure, usually viewed as codifying a triangulated space, is used here directly, to describe "spaces" whose geometric realisation can…
The scale and complexity of modern data sets and the limitations associated with testing large numbers of hypotheses underline the need for feature selection methods. Spectral techniques rank features according to their degree of…
This is an expository introduction to simplicial sets and simplicial homotopy theory with particular focus on relating the combinatorial aspects of the theory to their geometric/topological origins. It is intended to be accessible to…
