Let M be any closed, locally symmetric n-manifold (n>1) of nonpositive curvature. Assume that M has no locally Euclidean factors and no factors locally isometric to SL(3,R). Then for any closed Riemannian manifold N and any continuous map…
We study a family of invariants of compact metric spaces that combines the Curvature Sets defined by Gromov in the 1980s with Vietoris-Rips Persistent Homology. For given integers $k\geq 0$ and $n\geq 1$ we consider the dimension $k$…
We show that the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of a sequence of leaves in a compact foliation is a covering space of the limiting leaf which is no larger than this leaf's holonomy cover. We also show that convergence to such a limit is smooth…
We inspect Vietoris-Rips complexes $VR_t(X)$ of certain metric spaces $X$ using a new generalization of Bestvina-Brady discrete Morse theory. Our main result is a pair of metric criteria on $X$, called the Morse Criterion and Link…
Density of stable maps is the common thread of this paper. We review Whitney's contribution to singularities of differentiable mappings and Thom-Mather theories on $C^{\infty}$ and $C^{0}$-stability. Infinitesimal and algebraic methods are…
We propose a functorial framework for persistent homology based on finite topological spaces and their associated posets. Starting from a finite metric space, we associate a filtration of finite topologies whose structure maps are…
The stability of persistence diagrams is among the most important results in applied and computational topology. Most results in the literature phrase stability in terms of the bottleneck distance between diagrams and the $\infty$-norm of…
Motivated by computational aspects of persistent homology for Vietoris-Rips filtrations, we generalize a result of Eliyahu Rips on the contractibility of Vietoris-Rips complexes of geodesic spaces for a suitable parameter depending on the…
An analysis of necessary conditions for the existence of controlled dynamics with an attractor of a specified topological type is given. It uses the Hopf classification by degree for Gauss maps of manifolds to spheres of the same dimension,…
The paper focuses on the $L^{p}$-Positivity Preservation property ($L^{p}$-PP for short) on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. It states that any $L^p$ function $u$ with $1<p<+\infty$, which solves $(-\Delta + 1)u\ge 0$ on $M$ in the sense of…
We establish a nonlinear analogue of a splitting map into a Euclidean space, as a harmonic map into a flat torus. We prove that the existence of such a map implies Gromov-Hausdorff closeness to a flat torus in any dimension. Furthermore,…
We establish a pseudoisotopy result for embedding spaces in the line of that of Weiss and Williams for diffeomorphism groups. In other words, for $P\subset M$ a codimension at least three embedding, we describe the difference in a range of…
We show that the classifying space of a $p$-local compact group is approximated by a telescope of classifying spaces of $p$-local finite groups. This result has numerous implications, like a Stable Elements Theorem for $p$-local compact…
One says that the local large deviation principle (LLDP) is satisfied for a family of random vectors $\{\zeta_T\}_{T\ge 0}$ in $\mathbb R^d,$ $d\ge 1,$ if there exists a function $D:\mathbb R^d\to [0,\infty],$ $D\not \equiv \infty,$ such…
In \cite{GrOrang}, Gromov asks the following question: given a nullhomotopic map $f:S^m \to S^n$ of Lipschitz constant $L$, how does the Lipschitz constant of an optimal nullhomotopy of $f$ depend on $L$, $m$, and $n$? We establish that for…
We establish a kind of "degree zero Freudenthal Gm-suspension theorem" in motivic homotopy theory. From this we deduce results about the conservativity of the P^1-stabilization functor. In order to establish these results, we show how to…
In this paper we prove that every homeomorphism of a compact metric space admitting an invariant probability measure with full support can be approximated in the $C^0$-Gromov--Hausdorff topology by homeomorphisms with zero topological…
While the Vietoris-Rips complex is now widely used in both topological data analysis and the theory of hyperbolic groups, many of the fundamental properties of its homology have remained elusive. In this article, we define the Vietoris-Rips…
We consider the Cauchy problem for the Gross-Pitaevskii infinite linear hierarchy of equations on $\mathbb{R}^n.$ By introducing a (F)-norm in certain Sobolev type spaces of sequences of marginal density matrices, we establish local…
