This is an exposition of homotopical results on the geometric realization of semi-simplicial spaces. We then use these to derive basic foundational results about classifying spaces of topological categories, possibly without units. The…
Uniformity and proximity are two different ways for defining small scale structures on a set. Coarse structures are large scale counterparts of uniform structures. In this paper, motivated by the definition of proximity, we develop the…
The Connes formula giving the dual description for the distance between points of a Riemannian manifold is extended to the Lorentzian case. It resulted that its validity essentially depends on the global structure of spacetime. The duality…
This short note establishes explicit and broadly applicable relationships between persistence-based distances computed locally and globally. In particular, we show that the bottleneck distance between two zigzag persistence modules…
We show that uniform lattices of isometries of products of real hyperbolic spaces act properly discontinuously and cocompactly on a median space. For lattices in products of at least two factors, this is the strongest degree of…
The aim of this paper is to introduce the concepts of homotopical smallness and closeness. These are the properties of homotopical classes of maps that are related to recent developments in homotopy theory and to the construction of…
Motivated by persistent homology and topological data analysis, we consider formal sums on a metric space with a distinguished subset. These formal sums, which we call persistence diagrams, have a canonical 1-parameter family of metrics…
We study the effect of a hidden gauge symmetry on complex holomorphic systems. For this purpose, we show that intrinsically any holomorphic system has this gauge symmetry. We establish that this symmetry is related to the Cauchy-Riemann…
In this article we study the induced geodesic distance of fractional order Sobolev metrics on the groups of (volume preserving) diffeomorphisms and symplectomorphisms. The interest in these geometries is fueled by the observation that they…
Via multilinear algebra, we formulate a criterion for connectedness in the parametric geometry of numbers in terms of pencils, which are certain algebraic varieties in the space of matrices. As a consequence, we obtain a connectedness…
In this note on coarse geometry we revisit coarse homotopy. We prove that coarse homotopy indeed is an equivalence relation, and this in the most general context of abstract coarse structures. We introduce (in a geometric way) coarse…
For non-empty sets X we define notions of distance and pseudo metric with values in a partially ordered set that has a smallest element $\theta $. If $h_X$ is a distance in $X$ (respectively, a pseudo metric in $X$), then the pair $(X,h_X)$…
We study the barycenter of the Hellinger--Kantorovich metric over non-negative measures on compact, convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$. The article establishes existence, uniqueness (under suitable assumptions) and equivalence between a…
Using the notion of contiguity of simplicial maps, we adapt Farber's topological complexity to the realm of simplicial complexes. We show that, for a finite simplicial complex $K$, our discretized concept recovers the topological complexity…
We introduce a new simplicial nerve of higher dimensional automata whose homology groups yield a new definition of the globular homology. With this new definition, the drawbacks noticed with the construction of math.CT/9902151 disappear.…
The B-side of Kontsevich's Homological Mirror Symmetry Conjecture is discussed. We give first a self-contained study of derived categories and their homological algebra, and later restrict to the bounded derived category of schemes and…
We study the maximum likelihood degree of linear concentration models in algebraic statistics. We relate the geometry of the reciprocal variety to that of semidefinite programming. We show that the Zariski closure in the Grassmanian of the…
In this work, we Extend Pawlak approximation spaces by topological spaces. Also, Rough Membership, equality and inclusion relations are extended using topological near open sets. In addition, new extended measures of accuracy and quality of…
We redevelop persistent homology (topological persistence) from a categorical point of view. The main objects of study are diagrams, indexed by the poset of real numbers, in some target category. The set of such diagrams has an interleaving…
Proximity maps and regions are defined based on the relative allocation of points from two or more classes in an area of interest and are used to construct random graphs called proximity catch digraphs (PCDs) which have applications in…
