Simplicial complexes capture the underlying network topology and geometry of complex systems ranging from the brain to social networks. Here we show that algebraic topology is a fundamental tool to capture the higher-order dynamics of…

Graphs are ubiquitous to model the irregular (non-Euclidean) structure of complex data, but they are limited to pairwise relationships and fail to model the complexities of the datasets exhibiting higher-order interactions. In that context,…

A hypergraph can be obtained from a simplicial complex by deleting some non-maximal simplices. By [11], a hypergraph gives an associated simplicial complex. By [4], the embedded homology of a hypergraph is the homology of the infimum chain…
