In topological data analysis, we want to discern topological and geometric structure of data, and to understand whether or not certain features of data are significant as opposed to simply random noise. While progress has been made on…

We develop an analysis pipeline for characterizing the topology of large scale structure and extracting cosmological constraints based on persistent homology. Persistent homology is a technique from topological data analysis that quantifies…

We introduce "quantum barcodes," a theoretical framework that applies persistent homology to classify topological phases in quantum many-body systems. By mapping quantum states to classical data points through strategic observable…

Persistent homology (PH) encodes global information, such as cycles, and is thus increasingly integrated into graph neural networks (GNNs). PH methods in GNNs typically traverse an increasing sequence of subgraphs. In this work, we first…

We combine standard persistent homology with image persistent homology to define a novel way of characterizing shapes and interactions between them. In particular, we introduce: (1) a mixup barcode, which captures geometric-topological…

We study the grokking phenomenon through the lens of topology. Using persistent homology on point clouds derived from the embedding matrices of a range of models trained on modular arithmetic with varying primes, we identify a clear and…

Point-cloud persistent homology (PH) -- computing alpha or Rips complexes on spin-position point clouds -- has been widely applied to detect phase transitions in classical spin models since Donato et al. (2016), with subsequent studies…

Let $K$ be a finite simplicial, cubical, delta or CW complex. The persistence map $\mathrm{PH}$ takes a filter $f:K \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ as input and returns the barcodes $\mathrm{PH}(f)$ of the associated sublevel set persistent…

Computational topology provides a tool, persistent homology, to extract quantitative descriptors from structured objects (images, graphs, point clouds, etc). These descriptors can then be involved in optimization problems, typically as a…

Persistent homology is a popular method for computing topological features of (metric) data. Standard approaches based on the \v{C}ech or Rips filtration are stable under small perturbations of the data, but highly sensitive to outliers.…

In this work, we explore links between natural homology and persistent homology for the classification of directed spaces. The former is an algebraic invariant of directed spaces, a semantic model of concurrent programs. The latter was…

I introduce the concept of a persistence diagram (PD) bundle, which is the space of PDs for a fibered filtration function (a set $\{f_p: \mathcal{K}^p \to \mathbb{R}\}_{p \in B}$ of filtrations that is parameterized by a topological space…

We study detection of collapse in high-dimensional point clouds, where mass concentrates near a lower-dimensional set relative to a non-collapsed geometry. We propose persistent homology-based test statistics under two well-studied…

Persistent homology is a method from computational algebraic topology that can be used to study the "shape" of data. We illustrate two filtrations --- the weight rank clique filtration and the Vietoris--Rips (VR) filtration --- that are…

Visualization in the emerging field of topological data analysis has progressed from persistence barcodes and persistence diagrams to display of two-parameter persistent homology. Although persistence barcodes and diagrams have permitted…

Persistent homology is a topological data analysis tool that has been widely generalized, extending its scope beyond the field of topology. Among its extensions, steady and ranging persistence were developed to study a wide variety of graph…

Persistent homology tracks topological features across geometric scales, encoding birth and death of cycles as barcodes. We develop a complementary theory where the filtration parameter is algebraic precision rather than geometric scale.…
