We develop a cohomological approach to M\"obius inversion using derived functors in the enriched categorical setting. For a poset $P$ and a closed symmetric monoidal abelian category $\mathcal{C}$, we define M\"obius cohomology as the…
M\"obius inversion, originally a tool in number theory, was generalized to posets for use in group theory and combinatorics. It was later generalized to categories in two different ways, both of which are useful. We provide a unifying…
We introduce a formal definition of a pattern poset which encompasses several previously studied posets in the literature. Using this definition we present some general results on the M\"obius function and topology of such pattern posets.…
The combinatorial interpretation of the persistence diagram as a M\"obius inversion was recently shown to be functorial. We employ this discovery to recast the Persistent Homology Transform of a geometric complex as a representation of a…
We develop a new method to compute the homology groups of finite topological spaces (or equivalently of finite partially ordered sets) by means of spectral sequences giving a complete and simple description of the corresponding…
Given a functor from any category into the category of topological spaces, one obtains a linear representation of the category by post-composing the given functor with a homology functor with field coefficients. This construction is…
We present a new language for persistent homology in terms of Galois connections. This language has two main advantages over traditional approaches. First, it simplifies and unifies central concepts such as interleavings and matchings.…
This paper analyzes the M\"obius ($\mu(i)$) function defined on the partially ordered set of triangular numbers ($\mathcal T(i)$) under the divisibility relation. We make conjectures on the asymptotic behavior of the classical M\"obius and…
In this paper, we investigate the M{\"o}bius function $\mu\_{\mathcal{S}}$ associated to a (locally finite) poset arising from a semigroup $\mathcal{S}$ of $\mathbb{Z}^m$. We introduce and develop a new approach to study…
We introduce persistence with an emphasis on its algebraic foundations, using the representation theory of posets. Linear representations of posets arise in several areas of mathematics, including the representation theory of quivers and…
Let X be a finite set. This paper describes some topological and combinatorial properties of the poset \Omega_X of order relations on X. In particular, the homotopy type of all the intervals in \Omega_X is precisely determined, and the…
We generalize the character formulas for multiplicities of irreducible constituents from group theory to semigroup theory using Rota's theory of M\"obius inversion. The technique works for a large class of semigroups including: inverse…
\"Uberhomology is a recently defined homology theory for simplicial complexes, which yields subtle information on graphs. We prove that bold homology, a certain specialisation of \"uberhomology, is related to dominating sets in graphs. To…
This paper presents a discrete homotopy theory and a discrete homology theory for finite posets. In particular, the discrete and classical homotopy groups of finite posets are always isomorphic. Moreover, this discrete homology theory is…
Persistent homology is a popular tool in Topological Data Analysis. It provides numerical characteristics of data sets which reflect global geometric properties. In order to be useful in practice, for example for feature generation in…
We introduce Orthogonal M\"obius Inversion $\mathsf{OI}$, a concept analogous to M\"obius inversion on finite posets, which is applicable to order-preservings functions from a finite poset to the Grassmannian $\mathsf{Gr}(V)$ of an inner…
Relating macroscopic observables to microscopic interactions is a central challenge in the study of complex systems. While current approaches often focus on pairwise interactions, a complete understanding requires going beyond these to…
We propose a functorial framework for persistent homology based on finite topological spaces and their associated posets. Starting from a finite metric space, we associate a filtration of finite topologies whose structure maps are…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $N\unlhd G$. In this note, we construct a class poset of $G$ for some cyclic subgroup $C$ of $G$. And we find a relation between $m_{G,N}$ and the Euler characteristic of some nerve spaces of these posets(see…
We determine the M\"obius function of the poset of compositions of an integer. In fact we give two proofs of this formula, one using an involution and one involving discrete Morse theory. The composition poset turns out to be intimately…
