We consider the question of defining interleaving metrics on generalized persistence modules over arbitrary preordered sets. Our constructions are functorial, which implies a form of stability for these metrics. We describe a large class of examples, inverse-image persistence modules, which occur whenever a topological space is mapped to a metric space. Several standard theories of persistence and their stability can be described in this framework. This includes the classical case of…

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.

A notion of topological simplification is formalized within the framework of a filtration, which is the history of a growing complex, and a topological change that happens during growth is classified as either a feature or noise, depending on its life-time or persistence within the filTration.
