Persistent homology has emerged as a novel tool for data analysis in the past two decades. However, there are still very few shapes or even manifolds whose persistent homology barcodes (say of the Vietoris-Rips complex) are fully known.…

For a metric space $(X, d)$ and a scale parameter $r \geq 0$, the Vietoris-Rips complex $\mathcal{VR}(X;r)$ is a simplicial complex on vertex set $X$, where a finite set $\sigma \subseteq X$ is a simplex if and only if diameter of $\sigma$…

We describe the homotopy types of Vietoris-Rips complexes of hypercube graphs at scale $3$. We represent the vertices in the hypercube graph $Q_m$ as the collection of all subsets of $[m]=\{1, 2, \ldots, m\}$ and equip $Q_m$ with the metric…

We develop a toric topological framework for studying the cohomology of Vietoris--Rips complexes $VR(Q_n;r)$ of hypercube graphs. Using total domination invariants and spectral methods, we establish general lower bounds on connectivity,…

For $X$ a metric space and $r>0$, the Vietoris--Rips simplicial complex $\mathrm{VR}(X;r)$ has $X$ as its vertex set, and a finite subset $\sigma \subseteq X$ as a simplex whenever the diameter of $\sigma$ is less than $r$. In ``On…

For $X$ a metric space and $r>0$ a scale parameter, the Vietoris-Rips complex $VR_<(X;r)$ (resp. $VR_\leq(X;r)$) has $X$ as its vertex set, and a finite subset $\sigma\subseteq X$ as a simplex whenever the diameter of $\sigma$ is less than…

We survey what is known and unknown about Vietoris-Rips complexes and thickenings of spheres. Afterwards, we show how to control the homotopy connectivity of Vietoris-Rips complexes of spheres in terms of coverings of spheres and projective…

We study the topology of Vietoris--Rips complexes of finite grids on the torus. Let $T_{n,n}$ be the grid of $n\times n$ points on the flat torus $S^1\times S^1$, equipped with the $l^1$ metric. Let $\mathrm{VR}(T_{n,n};k)$ be the…

This paper investigates the problem of listing faces of combinatorial polytopes, such as hypercubes, permutahedra, associahedra, and their generalizations. Firstly, we consider the face lattice, which is the inclusion order of all faces of…

Given a metric space $(X,d)$, the Vietoris-Rips complex of $X$ at a scale of $r >0$ is a simplicial complex whose simplices are all those finite subsets of $X$ with diameter less than $r$. In this paper, we classify, up to simplicial…

Let $n\geq 2$ be an integer, and let $i\in\{0,...,n-1\}$. An $i$-th dimension edge in the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ is an edge ${v_1}{v_2}$ such that $v_1,v_2$ differ just at their $i$-th entries. The parity of an $i$-th dimension…
