Topological persistence is, by now, an established paradigm for constructing robust topological invariants from point cloud data: the data are converted into a filtered simplicial complex, the complex gives rise to a persistence module, and the module is described by a persistence diagram. In this paper, we study the geometry of the spaces of persistence modules and diagrams, with special attention to Cech and Rips complexes. The metric structures are determined in terms of interleaving maps…

Higher Interpolation and Extension for Persistence Modules
• Mathematics

• 2017
A coherence criterion is isolated which guarantees the extensibility of non-expansive maps into this space of persistence modules across embeddings of the domain to larger ambient metric spaces, allowing Kan extensions to provide the desired extensions.
Induced Matchings of Barcodes and the Algebraic Stability of Persistence

A simple, explicit map sending a morphism f: M → N of pointwise finite dimensional persistence modules to a matching between the barcodes of M and N shows explicitly how a δ-interleaving morphism between two persistence modules induces aδ-matching between thebarcodes of the two modules.

This work shows explicitly how a $\delta$-interleaving morphism between two persistence modules induces a $delta-matching between the barcodes of the two modules, and yields a novel "single-morphism" characterization of the interleaving relation on persistence modules. Topological Anomaly Detection in Dynamic Multilayer Blockchain Networks • Computer Science ECML/PKDD • 2021 A new topological perspective to structural anomaly detection in dynamic multilayer networks is introduced, and it is demonstrated that the stacked PD approach substantially outperforms state-of-art techniques. ## References SHOWING 1-10 OF 30 REFERENCES Proximity of persistence modules and their diagrams • Mathematics, Computer Science SCG '09 • 2009 This paper presents new stability results that do not suffer from the restrictions of existing stability results, and makes it possible to compare the persistence diagrams of functions defined over different spaces, thus enabling a variety of new applications of the concept of persistence. Stability of persistence diagrams • Mathematics SCG • 2005 The persistence diagram of a real-valued function on a topological space is a multiset of points in the extended plane.

Geom. • 2014 This work redevelops persistent homology (topological persistence) from a categorical point of view and gives a natural construction of a category of ε-interleavings of$\mathbf {(\mathbb {R},\leq)}\$-indexed diagrams in some target category and shows that if the target category is abelian, so is this category of interleavments.
Vines and vineyards by updating persistence in linear time

The main result of this paper is an algorithm that maintains the pairing in worst-case linear time per transposition in the ordering and uses the algorithm to compute 1-parameter families of diagrams which are applied to the study of protein folding trajectories.
