In this paper we investigate translated cone exchange transformations, a new family of piecewise isometries and renormalize its first return map to a subset of its partition. As a consequence we show that the existence of an embedding of an…

For Morse-Smale pairs on a smooth, closed manifold the Morse-Smale-Witten chain complex can be defined. The associated Morse homology is isomorphic to the singular homology of the manifold and yields the classical Morse relations for Morse…

The Conley index for flows is a topological invariant describing the behavior around an isolated invariant set $S$. It is defined as the homotopy type of a quotient space $N/L$, where $(N,L)$ is an index pair for $S$. In the case of a…

For an integer $m \geq 2$, let $\mathcal{P}_m$ be the partition of the unit interval $I$ into $m$ equal subintervals, and let $\mathcal{F}_m$ be the class of piecewise linear maps on $I$ with constant slope $\pm m$ on each element of…

A quadrature mirror filter (QMF) function can be considered as the transition function for a Markov process on the unit interval. The QMF functions that generate scaling functions for multiresolution analyses are then distinguished by…

We establish conditions for the existence of a family of piecewise linear invariant curves in a two-parameter family of piecewise isometries on the upper half-plane known as Translated Cone Exchange Transformations. We show that these…

We suggest a combinatorial classification of metric filtrations in measure spaces; a complete invariant of such a filtration is its combinatorial scheme, a measure on the space of hierarchies of the group~$\mathbb Z$. In turn, the notion of…

We introduce combinatorial multivector fields, associate with them multivalued dynamics and study their topological features. Our combinatorial multivector fields generalize combinatorial vector fields of Forman. We define isolated…

In graph signal processing, one of the most important subjects is the study of filters, i.e., linear transformations that capture relations between graph signals. One of the most important families of filters is the space of shift invariant…

This paper provides a unified framework connecting dynamical systems with tools from topological data analysis and geometric topology and inspires new interactions among dynamical systems, topology, and nonlinear analysis. To this end, we…

We introduce a refinement of persistent homology that detects simple-homotopy-theoretic phenomena invisible to homology. Given a filtered simplicial complex, we define the Morse complexity profile as the minimal number of critical simplices…

The central purpose of this article is to establish new inverse and implicit function theorems for differentiable maps with isolated critical points. One of the key ingredients is a discovery of the fact that differentiable maps with…

In this paper we settle a weak version of a conjecture (i.e. Conjecture 6) by Mills, Robbins and Rumsey in the paper "Self-complementary totally symmetric plane partitions" (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 42, 277-292). In other words we show that…

A singular point of a smooth map F: M -> N of manifolds is a point in M at which the rank of the differential dF is less than the minimum of dimensions of M and N. The classical invariant of the set S of singular points of F of a given type…

We develop the notion of a "filtered cospan" as an algebraic object that stands in the same relation to interlevel persistence modules as filtered chain complexes stand with respect to sublevel persistence modules. This relation is…

We generalize a map by S. Mason regarding two combinatorial models for key polynomials, in a way that accounts for the major index. We also define similar variants of this map, that regards alternative models for the modified Macdonald…

We generalize and extend the Conley-Morse-Forman theory for combinatorial multivector fields introduced in \cite{Mr2017}. The generalization consists in dropping the restrictive assumption in \cite{Mr2017} that every multivector has a…

Connection matrices are one of the central tools in Conley's approach to the study of dynamical systems, as they provide information on the existence of connecting orbits in Morse decompositions. They may be considered a generalisation of…

Shifts of finite type defined from shift equivalent matrices must be flow equivalent.

To any finite simplicial complex X, we associate a natural filtration starting from Chari and Joswig's discrete Morse complex and abutting to the matching complex of X. This construction leads to the definition of several homology theories,…
