Given a sample of points $X$ in a metric space $M$ and a scale $r>0$, the Vietoris-Rips simplicial complex $\mathrm{VR}(X;r)$ is a standard construction to attempt to recover $M$ from $X$ up to homotopy type. A deficiency of this approach…

Vietoris-Rips metric thickenings have previously been proposed as an alternate approach to understanding Vietoris-Rips simplicial complexes and their persistent homology. Recent work has shown that for totally bounded metric spaces,…

Given a sample $Y$ from an unknown manifold $X$ embedded in Euclidean space, it is possible to recover the homology groups of $X$ by building a Vietoris--Rips or \v{C}ech simplicial complex on top of the vertex set $Y$. However, these…

Many simplicial complexes arising in practice have an associated metric space structure on the vertex set but not on the complex, e.g. the Vietoris-Rips complex in applied topology. We formalize a remedy by introducing a category of…

Persistent homology has emerged as a novel tool for data analysis in the past two decades. However, there are still very few shapes or even manifolds whose persistent homology barcodes (say of the Vietoris-Rips complex) are fully known.…

For $X$ a metric space and $r\ge 0$, the anti-Vietoris-Rips metric thickening $\mathrm{AVR^m}(X;r)$ is the space of all finitely supported probability measures on $X$ whose support has spread at least $r$, equipped with an optimal transport…

Let $G$ be a group acting properly and by isometries on a metric space $X$; it follows that the quotient or orbit space $X/G$ is also a metric space. We study the Vietoris-Rips and \v{C}ech complexes of $X/G$. Whereas (co)homology theories…

Characterizing the homotopy types of the Vietoris--Rips complexes of a metric space $X$ is in general a difficult problem. The Vietoris--Rips metric thickening, a metric space analogue of the Vietoris--Rips complex, was introduced as a…

We study the relationship between metric thickenings and simplicial complexes associated to coverings of metric spaces. Let $\mathcal{U}$ be a cover of a separable metric space $X$ by open sets with a uniform diameter bound. The Vietoris…

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 study the concepts of the $\ell_p$-Vietoris-Rips simplicial set and the $\ell_p$-Vietoris-Rips complex of a metric space, where $1\leq p \leq \infty.$ This theory unifies two established theories: for $p=\infty,$ this is the classical…

In the applied algebraic topology community, the persistent homology induced by the Vietoris-Rips simplicial filtration is a standard method for capturing topological information from metric spaces. In this paper, we consider a different,…

We show that if $X$ is a finite-dimensional Polish metric space, then the natural bijection $\mathrm{VR}(X;r)\to \mathrm{VR^m}(X;r)$ from the (open) Vietoris-Rips complex to the Vietoris-Rips metric thickening is a homotopy equivalence.…

We consider the problem of homotopy-type reconstruction of compact subsets $X\subset\R^N$ that have the Alexandrov curvature bounded above ($\leq$ $\kappa$) in the intrinsic length metric. The reconstructed spaces are in the form of…

Thickenings of a metric space capture local geometric properties of the space. Here we exhibit applications of lower bounding the topology of thickenings of the circle and more generally the sphere. We explain interconnections with the…

We introduce persistence matching diagrams induced by set mappings of metric spaces, based on 0-persistent homology of Vietoris-Rips filtrations. Also, we present a geometric definition of the persistence matching diagram that is more…

Given a metric space X and a distance threshold r>0, the Vietoris-Rips simplicial complex has as its simplices the finite subsets of X of diameter less than r. A theorem of Jean-Claude Hausmann states that if X is a Riemannian manifold and…

A standard way of approximating or discretizing a metric space is by taking its Rips complexes. These approximations for all parameters are often bound together into a filtration, to which we apply the fundamental group or the first…

We study Vietoris-Rips complexes of metric wedge sums and metric gluings. We show that the Vietoris-Rips complex of a wedge sum, equipped with a natural metric, is homotopy equivalent to the wedge sum of the Vietoris-Rips complexes. We also…

In this paper, we offer a new perspective on persistent homology by integrating key concepts from metric geometry. For a given compact subset $\mathcal{X}$ of a Banach space $\mathbf{Y}$, we analyze the topological features arising in the…
