Topological complexity is a homotopy invariant that measures the minimal number of continuous rules required for motion planning in a space. In this work, we introduce persistent analogs of topological complexity and its cohomological lower…

The computational cost of persistent homology is often dominated by the growth of the underlying simplicial filtrations. Many different filtrations exist, each with its own assumptions and trade-offs, but all face some form of this growth…

We prove a homological stability theorem for the subgroup of the mapping class group acting as the identity on some fixed portion of the first homology group of the surface. We also prove a similar theorem for the subgroup of the mapping…

Proximity complexes and filtrations are central constructions in topological data analysis. Built using distance functions, or more generally metrics, they are often used to infer connectivity information from point clouds. Here we…

Let p be a fibration over a finite simplicial complex, whose fibers have the homotopy type of finite simplicial complexes. Then p is equivalent to an approximate fibration whose total space is a compact ENR. The proof uses homotopy coherent…

There have been several recent articles studying homology of various types of random simplicial complexes. Several theorems have concerned thresholds for vanishing of homology, and in some cases expectations of the Betti numbers. However…

We derive conditions under which the reconstruction of a target space is topologically correct via the \v{C}ech complex or the Vietoris-Rips complex obtained from possibly noisy point cloud data. We provide two novel theoretical results.…

Let $G$ be a group acting properly and by isometries on a metric space $X$; it follows that the quotient or orbit space $X/G$ is also a metric space. We study the Vietoris-Rips and \v{C}ech complexes of $X/G$. Whereas (co)homology theories…

Given a commutative ring $R$, a $\pi_1$-$R$-equivalence is a continuous map of spaces inducing an isomorphism on fundamental groups and an $R$-homology equivalence between universal covers. When $R$ is an algebraically closed field, Raptis…

In this document, we propose a bridge between the graphs and the geometric realizations of their Vietoris Rips complexes, i.e. Graphs, with their canonical \v{C}ech closure structure, have the same homotopy type that the realization of…

This paper displays the Healy-McInnes UMAP construction $V(X,N)$ as an iterated pushout of Vietoris-Rips objects associated to extended pseudo metric spaces (ep-metric spaces) defined by choices of neighbourhoods of the elements of a finite…

For a closed Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ and a metric space $S$ with a small Gromov$\unicode{x2013}$Hausdorff distance to it, Latschev's theorem guarantees the existence of a sufficiently small scale $\beta>0$ at which the…

By analogy with methods of Spivak, there is a realization functor which takes a persistence diagram $Y$ in simplicial sets to an extended pseudo-metric space (or ep-metric space) $Re(Y)$. The functor $Re$ has a right adjoint, called the…

The aim of this paper is to give verifiable criteria for the existence of {\em irreducible} homomorphisms of $\pi_{1}(\mathbb P^1 - \mathcal R)$ into compact semisimple groups, for a finite subset $\mathcal R$ such that the conjugacy…

We develop novel methods for using persistent homology to infer the homology of an unknown Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ from a point cloud sampled from an arbitrary smooth probability density function. Standard distance-based filtered…

Let $R\subseteq \Bbb Q$ be a subring of the rationals and let $p$ be the least prime (if none, $p=\infty $) which is not invertible in $R.$ For an $R$-local $r$-connected $CW$-complex $X$ of dimension $\leq \min(r+2p-3,rp-1), r\geq 1, $ a…

This paper presents explicit assumptions for the existence of interleaving homotopy equivalences of both Vietoris-Rips and Lesnick complexes associated to an inclusion of data sets. Consequences of these assumptions are investigated on the…

We give bounds for dimension 0 persistent homology and codimension 1 homology of Vietoris--Rips, alpha, and cubical complex filtrations from finite sets related by enrichment (adding new elements), sparsification (removing elements), and…

The shadow of an abstract simplicial complex $K$ with vertices in $\mathbb{R}^N$ is a subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$ defined as the union of the convex hulls of simplices of $K$. The Vietoris--Rips complex of a metric space $(S,d)$ at scale…

A standard way of approximating or discretizing a metric space is by taking its Rips complexes. These approximations for all parameters are often bound together into a filtration, to which we apply the fundamental group or the first…
