Persistent Homology and Equivariance in Data Analysis: A Topological Introduction
Patrizio Frosini, Ulderico Fugacci, Nicola Quercioli +1
This new book is intended as a first elementary introduction to Topological Data Analysis for mathematics students seeking a rigorous account of the foundations of persistent homol…
Stratified Morse Theory for Cell Complexes
Vidit Nanda, Francesca Tombari
We develop a version of discrete Morse theory for finite regular CW complexes equipped with an auxiliary stratification. The key construction is the halo of a cell, which contains…
The Convex Matching Distance in Multiparameter Persistence
Francesco Conti, Patrizio Frosini, Ulderico Fugacci +4
We introduce the convex matching distance, a novel metric for comparing functions with values in the real plane. This metric measures the maximal bottleneck distance between the pe…
Homotopical decompositions of simplicial and Vietoris Rips complexes
Wojciech Chacholski, Alvin Jin, Martina Scolamiero +1
Motivated by applications in Topological Data Analysis, we consider decompositions of a simplicial complex induced by a cover of its vertices. We study how the homotopy type of suc…
Landscapes of data sets and functoriality of persistent homology
Wojciech Chacholski, Alessandro De Gregorio, Nicola Quercioli +1
The aim of this article is to describe a new perspective on functoriality of persistent homology and explain its intrinsic symmetry that is often overlooked. A data set for us is a…
