We study sublevel set and superlevel set persistent homology on discrete functions through the perspective of finite ordered sets of both linearly ordered and cyclically ordered domains. Finite ordered sets also serve as the codomain of our…

We formulate the mirror symmetry for correlation functions of tropical observables. We prove the tropical mirror correspondence for correlation functions of evaluation observables on toric space. The key point of the proof is the…

The model of p Ising spins coupled to 2d gravity, in the form of a sum over planar phi-cubed graphs, is studied and in particular the two-point and spin-spin correlation functions are considered. We first solve a toy model in which only a…

We prove a result analogous to Reeb's theorem in the context of Morse-Bott functions: if a closed, smooth manifold $M$ admits a Morse-Bott function having two critical submanifolds $S^k$ and $S^l$ ($k \neq l$), then $M$ has dimension…

A spherical conical metric $g$ on a surface $\Sigma$ is a metric of constant curvature $1$ with finitely many isolated conical singularities. The uniformization problem for such metrics remains largely open when at least one of the cone…

Let $\lambda$ be a real number with $-\pi/2<\lambda<\pi/2.$ In order to study $\lambda$-spirallike functions, it is natural to measure the angle according to $\lambda$-spirals. Thus we are led to the notion of $\lambda$-argument. This fits…

We give some remarks on some manifolds K3 surfaces, Complex projective spaces, real projective space and Torus and the classification of two dimensional Riemannian surfaces, Green functions and the Stokes formula. We also, talk about traces…

A classical result in Morse theory is the determination of the homotopy type of the loop space of a manifold. In this paper, we study this result through the lens of discrete Morse theory. This requires a suitable simplicial model for the…

In this paper, we study on knots and closed incompressible surfaces in the 3-sphere via Morse functions. We show that both of knots and closed incompressible surfaces can be isotoped into a "related Morse position" simultaneously. As an…

Looking at some monoids and (semi)rings (natural numbers, integers and p-adic integers), and more generally, residually finite algebras (in a strong sense), we prove the equivalence of two ways for a function on such an algebra to behave…

A $2$-matching complex is a simplicial complex which captures the relationship between $2$-matchings of a graph. In this paper, we will use discrete Morse Theory and the Matching Tree Algorithm to prove homotopical results. We will consider…

We prove that every smooth closed manifold admits a smooth real-valued function with only two critical values. We call a function of this type a \emph{Reeb function}. We prove that for a Reeb function we can prescribe the set of minima (or…

Based on collection of bijections, variable and function are extended into ``isomorphic variable'' and ``dual-variable-isomorphic function'', then mean values such as arithmetic mean and mean of a function are extended to ``isomorphic…

We expand the notion of a normal function for a Hodge class on an even-dimensional complex projective manifold to the notion of a 'topological normal function' associated to any primitive integral cohomology class. The definition of the…

Let $M$ be a smooth closed orientable surface. Let $F$ be the space of Morse functions on $M$ having fixed number of critical points of each index, moreover at least $\chi(M)+1$ critical points are labeled by different labels (enumerated).…

Let $X$ be a proper geodesic metric space. We give a new construction of the Morse Boundary that realizes its points as equivalence classes of functions on $X$ which behave similar to the "distance to a point" function. When $G=\langle S…

A simple and very accurate method to approximate a function with a finite number of discontinuities is presented. This method relies on hyperbolic tangent functions of rational arguments as connecting functions at the discontinuities, each…

This is the second paper in our sequence. Here, we apply our abstract Morse index formulation developed in the previous paper to study several optimization set-ups with constraints, including type I or/and type II considerations. A common…

We prove a Morse index theorem for action functionals on paths that are allowed to reflect at a hypersurface (either in the interior or at the boundary of a manifold). Both fixed and periodic boundary conditions are treated.

A real polynomial $p$ of degree $n$ is called a Morse polynomial if its derivative has $n-1$ pairwise differentreal roots and values of $p$ in these roots (critical values) are also pairwise different. The plot of such polynomial is called…
