We introduce several geometric notions, including the width of a homology class, to the theory of persistent homology. These ideas provide geometric interpretations of persistence diagrams. Indeed, we give quantitative and geometric…
The Reeb graph is a construction that studies a topological space through the lens of a real valued function. It has widely been used in applications, however its use on real data means that it is desirable and increasingly necessary to…
The interleaving distance, although originally developed for persistent homology, has been generalized to measure the distance between functors modeled on many posets or even small categories. Existing theories require that such a poset…
Persistent homology (PH) studies the topology of data across multiple scales by building nested collections of topological spaces called filtrations, computing homology and returning an algebraic object that can be vizualised as a…
A study is made of linear isometries on Fr\'echet spaces for which the metric is given in terms of a sequence of seminorms. This establishes sufficient conditions on the growth of the function that defines the metric in terms of the…
The Persistent Homology Transform (PHT) summarizes a shape in $\mathbb{R}^m$ by collecting persistence diagrams obtained from linear height filtrations in all directions on $\mathbb{S}^{m-1}$. It enjoys strong theoretical guarantees,…
Using sheaf theory, I introduce a continuous theory of persistence for mappings between compact manifolds. In the case both manifolds are orientable, the theory holds for integer coefficients. The sheaf introduced here is stable to…
Cohomological ideas have recently been injected into persistent homology and have for example been used for accelerating the calculation of persistence diagrams by the software Ripser. The cup product operation which is available at…
The equations of motion of a mechanical system subjected to nonholonomic linear constraints can be formulated in terms of a linear almost Poisson structure in a vector bundle. We study the existence of invariant measures for the system in…
We prove that the magnitude (co)homology of an enriched category can, under some technical assumptions, be described in terms of derived functors between certain abelian categories. We show how this statement is specified for the cases of…
Motivated both by theoretical and practical considerations in topological data analysis, we generalize the $p$-Wasserstein distance on barcodes to multiparameter persistence modules. For each $p\in [1,\infty]$, we in fact introduce two such…
The concept of edit distance, which dates back to the 1960s in the context of comparing word strings, has since found numerous applications with various adaptations in computer science, computational biology, and applied topology. By…
We develop a theory of persistent homology for directed simplicial complexes which detects persistent directed cycles in odd dimensions. We relate directed persistent homology to classical persistent homology, prove some stability results,…
We develop a Morse-Lusternik-Schnirelmann theory for the distance between two points of a smoothly embedded circle in a complete Riemannian manifold. This theory suggests very naturally a definition of width that generalises the classical…
The Representation Theorem by Zomorodian and Carlsson has been the starting point of the study of persistent homology under the lens of algebraic representation theory. In this work, we give a more accurate statement of the original theorem…
Multigraded Betti numbers are one of the simplest invariants of multiparameter persistence modules. This invariant is useful in theory -- it completely determines the Hilbert function of the module and the isomorphism type of the free…
The theory of persistence modules on the commutative ladders $CL_n(\tau)$ provides an extension of persistent homology. However, an efficient algorithm to compute the generalized persistence diagrams is still lacking. In this work, we view…
As a step towards establishing homotopy-theoretic foundations for topological data analysis (TDA), we introduce and study homotopy interleavings between filtered topological spaces. These are homotopy-invariant analogues of interleavings,…
This thesis develops the theory of sheaves and cosheaves with an eye towards applications in science and engineering. To provide a theory that is computable, we focus on a combinatorial version of sheaves and cosheaves called cellular…
The linear isometries between weighted Banach spaces of continuous functions are considered. Some of well known theorems on isometries between spaces of continuous functions are proved and stated, but all they are in an appropriate form. In…
