Shape inference is classically ill-posed, because it involves a map from the (2D) image domain to the (3D) world. Standard approaches regularize this problem by either assuming a prior on lighting and rendering or restricting the domain,…
A new methodological approach for the study of topology for shapes made of arrangements of lines, planes or solids is presented. Topologies for shapes are traditionally built on the classical theory of point-sets. In this paper, topologies…
On objects of a triangulated category with a stability condition, we construct a topology.
We define a notion of {\it positive part} of a lattice $\Lambda$ and we endow the set of such positive parts with a topology. We then study some properties of this topology, by comparing it with the one of $V^*/\RM_{> 0}$, where $V^*$ is…
Covering-based rough set theory is an extension to classical rough set. The main purpose of this paper is to study covering rough sets from a topological point of view. The relationship among upper approximations based on topological spaces…
We survey some results on toric topology.
This text arises from teaching advanced undergraduate courses in differential topology for the master curriculum in Mathematics at the University of Pisa. So it is mainly addressed to motivated and collaborative master undergraduate…
The goal of this note is to explore, from a geometric and probabilistic point of view, the dynamics of cone structures adapted to open book decompositions. This is inspired by the picture which arises in the study of the circular restricted…
This short note is the extended abstract of a seminar I have delivered on several occasions over the past few months on canonical threefolds whose canonical volume is "close" to the lower bound 4/3p_g - 10/3. This is a project in…
This is an attempt to look at the tropical geometry from topological point of view.
Bottom-up layout algorithms for compound graphs are suitable for presenting the microscale view of models and are often used in model-driven engineering. However, they have difficulties at the macroscale where maintaining the overview of…
This article is an investigation of a method of deriving a topology from a space and an elementary submodel containing it. We first define and give the basic properties of this construction, known as $X/M$. In the next section, we construct…
In this paper we study the 2-dimension of a finite poset from the topological point of view. We use homotopy theory of finite topological spaces and the concept of a beat point to improve the classical results on 2-dimension, giving a more…
This is an overview of math.AG/0310186, math.AG/0309290, math.AG/0501247, math.AG/0401002 and math.AG/0504584 written for the Proceedings of the AMS Meeting on Algebraic Geometry, Seattle, 2005.
We propose an algorithm to estimate the topology of an embedded metric graph from a well-sampled finite subset of the underlying graph.
Some of the basic concepts of topology are explored through known physics problems. This helps us in two ways, one, in motivating the definitions and the concepts, and two, in showing that topological analysis leads to a clearer…
This paper introduces two-dimensional diagrams that are slight generalizations of moment map images for toric four-manifolds and catalogs techniques for reading topological and symplectic properties of a symplectic four-manifold from these…
In this paper, we propose a method for generating a hierarchical, volumetric topological map from 3D point clouds. There are three basic hierarchical levels in our map: $storey - region - volume$. The advantages of our method are reflected…
Starting from filters over the set of indices, we introduce structures in a product of sets where the coordinate sets have the given structures.
