Topological Data Analysis (TDA) studies the shape of data. A common topological descriptor is the persistence diagram, which encodes topological features in a topological space at different scales. Turner, Mukeherjee, and Boyer showed that…

Supercooled liquids exhibit complicated dynamical behaviors: At the microscopic level, the dynamics is heterogeneous spatially, known as dynamic heterogeneity. At the macroscopic level, the shear viscosity $\eta$ decreases as shear rate…
