We define the notions of micro-support and regularity for ind-sheaves, and prove their invariance by contact transformations. We apply the results to the ind-sheaves of temperate holomorphic solutions of D-modules. We prove that the…

We show that the minimal free resolution of a general semi-stable sheaf $U$ on $\mathbb{P}^2$ contains a subcomplex that determines an extremal ray of the cone of effective divisors of its moduli space. We provide evidence that this is part…

It is proved that every discrete Morse function in the sense of Forman on a finite regular CW complex can be represented by a polyhedral Morse function in the sense of Banchoff on an appropriate embedding in Euclidean space of the…

Motivated by questions about simplification of topology, we take a discrete approach to the dependency of simplifying operations, using methods based on combinatorial gradient dynamics. We interpret the filter in persistent homology as a…

The isometric embedding of surfaces in three-dimensional space is fundamental to various physical systems, from elastic sheets to programmable materials. While continuous surfaces typically admit unique solutions under suitable boundary…

A family of simplicial complexes, connected with simplicial maps and indexed by a poset $P$, is called a poset tower. The concept of poset towers subsumes classical objects of study in the persistence literature, as, for example,…

We investigate properties of the set of discrete Morse functions on a simplicial complex as defined by Forman. It is not difficult to see that the pairings of discrete Morse functions of a finite simplicial complex again form a simplicial…

Accurate delineation of fine-scale structures is a very important yet challenging problem. Existing methods use topological information as an additional training loss, but are ultimately making pixel-wise predictions. In this paper, we…

We present a detailed introduction of the theory of constructible sheaf complexes in the complex algebraic and analytic setting. All concepts are illustrated by many interesting examples and relevant applications, while some important…

We study the dualizability of sheaves on manifolds with isotropic singular supports $\operatorname{Sh}_\Lambda(M)$ and microsheaves with isotropic supports $\operatorname{\mu sh}_\Lambda(\Lambda)$ and obtain a classification result of…

On a real analytic manifold M, we construct the linear subanalytic Grothendieck topology Msal together with the natural morphism of sites $\rho$ from Msa to Msal, where Msa is the usual subanalytic site. Our first result is that the derived…

We generalize the notion of a small sheaf of sets over a topological space or manifold to define the notion of a small stack of groupoids over an \'etale topological or differentiable stack. We then provide a construction analogous to the…

We address the basic question in discrete Morse theory of combining discrete gradient fields that are partially defined on subsets of the given complex. This is a well-posed question when the discrete gradient field $V$ is generated using a…

There is an interplay between models, specified by variables and equations, and their connections to one another. This dichotomy should be reflected in the abstract as well. Without referring to the models directly -- only that a model…

After surveying classical notions of PL topology of the Seventies, we clarify the relation between Morse theory and its discretization by Forman. We show that PL handles theory and discrete Morse theory are equivalent, in the sense that…
