Topological data analysis using persistent discrete homology

Chris Kapulkin, Nathan Kershaw

We propose persistent discrete homology as a tool for topological data analysis and discuss its advantages over the existing methods. In particular, we provide empirical evidence t…

Homotopy -types of cubical sets and graphs

Chris Kapulkin, Udit Mavinkurve

We give a new construction of the model structure on the category of simplicial sets for homotopy -types, originally due to Elvira-Donazar and Hernandez-Paricio, using a right t…

Synthetic approach to the Quillen model structure on topological spaces

Sterling Ebel, Chris Kapulkin

We provide an axiomatic treatment of Quillen's construction of the model structure on topological spaces to make it applicable to a wider range of settings, including -generate…

Closed symmetric monoidal structures on the category of graphs

Chris Kapulkin, Nathan Kershaw

We show that the category of (reflexive) graphs and graph maps carries exactly two closed symmetric monoidal products: the box product and the categorical product.

Diagonal Lemma for Presheaves on Eilenberg-Zilber Categories

Daniel Carranza, Chris Kapulkin, Liang Ze Wong

The diagonal lemma asserts that if a map of bisimplicial sets is a levelwise weak equivalence in the Kan-Quillen model structure, then it induces a weak equivalence of the diagonal…

Cofibration category of digraphs for path homology

Daniel Carranza, Brandon Doherty, Chris Kapulkin +3

We prove that the category of directed graphs and graph maps carries a cofibration category structure in which the weak equivalences are the graph maps inducing isomorphisms on pat…
