We introduce a notion of Morse shellings (and tilings) on finite simplicial complexes which extends the classical one and its relation to discrete Morse theory.Skeletons and barycentric subdivisions of Morse shellable (or tileable)…

In the first half of the paper we construct a Morse-type theory on certain spaces of braid diagrams. We define a topological invariant of closed positive braids which is correlated with the existence of invariant sets of parabolic flows…

Persistent homology is a central methodology in topological data analysis that has been successfully implemented in many fields and is becoming increasingly popular and relevant. The output of persistent homology is a persistence diagram --…

In topological data analysis, persistent homology is used to study the "shape of data". Persistent homology computations are completely characterized by a set of intervals called a bar code. It is often said that the long intervals…

The Mayer-Vietoris theorem is known for its wide applications, especially in determining homology. In fact, this theorem provides us with a long exact sequence, where the underlying homology groups fit in. However, this theorem does not…

Persistent homology is typically computed through persistent cohomology. While this generally improves the running time significantly, it does not facilitate extraction of homology representatives. The mentioned representatives are…

We introduce some properties describing dependence in indiscernible sequences: $F_{ind}$ and its dual $F_{Mb}$, the definable Morley property, and $n$-resolvability. Applying these properties, we establish the following results: We show…

On a smooth manifold, we associate to any closed differential form a mapping cone complex. The cohomology of this mapping cone complex can vary with the de Rham cohomology class of the closed form. We present a novel Morse theoretical…

We introduce a linear dimensionality reduction technique preserving topological features via persistent homology. The method is designed to find linear projection $L$ which preserves the persistent diagram of a point cloud $\mathbb{X}$ via…

Discrete Morse theory emerged as an essential tool for computational geometry and topology. Its core structures are discrete gradient fields, defined as acyclic matchings on a complex $C$, from which topological and geometrical informations…

We initiate the study of persistent homology of random geometric simplicial complexes. Our main interest is in maximally persistent cycles of degree-$k$ in persistent homology, for a either the \cech or the Vietoris--Rips filtration built…

A homology stratification is a filtered space with local homology groups constant on strata. Despite being used by Goresky and MacPherson [Intersection homology theory: II, Inventiones Mathematicae, 71 (1983) 77-129] in their proof of…

Persistent homology captures the evolution of topological features of a model as a parameter changes. The most commonly used summary statistics of persistent homology are the barcode and the persistence diagram. Another summary statistic,…
