The primary interest of this paper is to discuss the role of twisting cochains in the theory of characteristic classes. We begin with the homological description of monodromy map, associated with a connection on a trivial bundle over a…

Data quality is crucial for the successful training, generalization and performance of machine learning models. We propose to measure the quality of a subset concerning the dataset it represents, using topological data analysis techniques.…

In this article, we investigate some properties of the coincidence point set of digitally continuous maps. Following the Rosenfeld graphical model which seems more combinatorial than topological, we expect to achieve results that might not…

Despite the obvious similarities between the metrics used in topological data analysis and those of optimal transport, an optimal-transport based formalism to study persistence diagrams and similar topological descriptors has yet to come.…

In previous publications, we have started investigating some possible applications to the retraction theory in gravitational physics and showed that it can be very useful in providing proofs and explaining the topological bases. In the…

We investigate the dynamics of forward or backward self-similar systems (iterated function systems) and the topological structure of their invariant sets. We define a new cohomology theory (interaction cohomology) for forward or backward…

This article is the introductory part of authors PhD thesis. The article presents a new coordinate invariant definition of quasiregular and quasiconformal mappings on Riemannian manifolds that generalizes the definition of quasiregular…

We establish maximal trees and graphs for the difference of average distance and proximity proving thus the corresponding conjecture posed in [4]. We also establish maximal trees for the difference of average eccentricity and remoteness and…

In this paper we analyze some relationships between the topological complexity of a space $X$ and the category of $C_{\Delta_X},$ the homotopy cofibre of the diagonal map $\Delta_X:X\rightarrow X\times X.$ We establish the equality of the…

We develop a novel stability theory for Sinkhorn semigroups based on Lyapunov techniques and quantitative contraction coefficients, and establish exponential convergence of Sinkhorn iterations on weighted Banach spaces. This…

Minimum numbers decide e.g. whether a given map f: S^m --> S^n/G from a sphere into a spherical space form can be deformed to a map f' such that f(x) not equal f'(x) for all x in S^m. In this paper we compare minimum numbers to…

We construct suitable metrics for two classes of topological dynamical systems (linear maps on the torus and non-invertible expansive maps on compact spaces) in order to get a lower bound for topological entropy in terms of the resulting…

We find that Koschorke's $\beta$-invariant and the triple $\mu$-invariant of link maps in the critical dimension can be computed as degrees of certain maps of configuration spaces - just like the linking number. Both formulas admit…

We discuss coincidences of pairs (f_1, f_2) of maps between manifolds. We recall briefly the definition of four types of Nielsen numbers which arise naturally from the geometry of generic coincidences. They are lower bounds for the minimum…

Building upon work of Y. Shalom we give a homological-algebra flavored definition of an induction map in group homology associated to a topological coupling. As an application we obtain estimates of the (co)homological dimension of groups G…

This paper considers the question of which continua are 2-to-1 retracts of continua.

Iterations of odd piecewise continuous maps with two discontinuities, i.e., symmetric discontinuous bimodal maps, are studied. Symbolic dynamics is introduced. The tools of kneading theory are used to study the homology of the discrete…

In this thesis new objects to the existing set of invariants of Lie algebras are added. These invariant characteristics are capable of describing the nilpotent parametric continuum of Lie algebras. The properties of these invariants, in…

We develop a geometric version of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations for discrete mechanics and constrained discrete mechanics. The geometric approach consists of using suitable Lagrangian and isotropic submanifolds. We also…

We propose a new homotopy invariant for Lie groupoids which generalizes the classical Lusternik-Schnirelmann category for topological spaces. We use a bicategorical approach to develop a notion of contraction in this context. We propose a…
