  text: "This note proves that only a linear number of holes in a Cech complex of
    n points in R^d\r\ncan persist over an interval of constant length. Specifically,
    for any fixed dimension p <\r\nd and fixed ε > 0, the number of p-dimensional
    holes in the ˇ Cech complex at radius 1\r\nthat persist to radius 1+ε is bounded
    above by a constant times n,where n is the number\r\nof points. The proof uses
    a packing argument supported by relating theCˇ ech complexes\r\nwith corresponding
    snap complexes over the cells in a partition of space. The argument\r\nis self-contained
    and elementary, relying on geometric and combinatorial constructions\r\nrather
    than on the existing theory of sparse approximations or interleavings. The bound\r\nalso
    applies to Alpha complexes and Vietoris–Rips complexes. While our result can be\r\ninferred
    from prior work on sparse filtrations, to our knowledge, no explicit statement\r\nor
    direct proof of this bound appears in the literature."

  text: The depth of a cell in an arrangement of n (non-vertical) great-spheres in
    Sd is the number of great-spheres that pass above the cell. We prove Euler-type
    relations, which imply extensions of the classic Dehn–Sommerville relations for
    convex polytopes to sublevel sets of the depth function, and we use the relations
    to extend the expressions for the number of faces of neighborly polytopes to the
    number of cells of levels in neighborly arrangements.

  text: "We characterize critical points of 1-dimensional maps paired in persistent
    homology\r\ngeometrically and this way get elementary proofs of theorems about
    the symmetry\r\nof persistence diagrams and the variation of such maps. In particular,
    we identify\r\nbranching points and endpoints of networks as the sole source of
    asymmetry and\r\nrelate the cycle basis in persistent homology with a version
    of the stable marriage\r\nproblem. Our analysis provides the foundations of fast

  text: 'Kleinjohann (Archiv der Mathematik 35(1):574–582, 1980; Mathematische Zeitschrift
    176(3), 327–344, 1981) and Bangert (Archiv der Mathematik 38(1):54–57, 1982) extended
    the reach rch(S) from subsets S of Euclidean space to the reach rchM(S) of subsets
    S of Riemannian manifolds M, where M is smooth (we’ll assume at least C3). Bangert
    showed that sets of positive reach in Euclidean space and Riemannian manifolds
    are very similar. In this paper we introduce a slight variant of Kleinjohann’s
    and Bangert’s extension and quantify the similarity between sets of positive reach
    in Euclidean space and Riemannian manifolds in a new way: Given p∈M and q∈S, we
    bound the local feature size (a local version of the reach) of its lifting to
    the tangent space via the inverse exponential map (exp−1p(S)) at q, assuming that
    rchM(S) and the geodesic distance dM(p,q) are bounded. These bounds are motivated
    by the importance of the reach and local feature size to manifold learning, topological
    inference, and triangulating manifolds and the fact that intrinsic approaches
    circumvent the curse of dimensionality.'

  text: 'We study the probabilistic convergence between the mapper graph and the Reeb
    graph of a topological space X equipped with a continuous function f:X→R. We first
    give a categorification of the mapper graph and the Reeb graph by interpreting
    them in terms of cosheaves and stratified covers of the real line R. We then introduce
    a variant of the classic mapper graph of Singh et al. (in: Eurographics symposium
    on point-based graphics, 2007), referred to as the enhanced mapper graph, and
    demonstrate that such a construction approximates the Reeb graph of (X,f) when
    it is applied to points randomly sampled from a probability density function concentrated
    on (X,f). Our techniques are based on the interleaving distance of constructible
    cosheaves and topological estimation via kernel density estimates. Following Munch
    and Wang (In: 32nd international symposium on computational geometry, volume 51
    of Leibniz international proceedings in informatics (LIPIcs), Dagstuhl, Germany,
    pp 53:1–53:16, 2016), we first show that the mapper graph of (X,f), a constructible
    R-space (with a fixed open cover), approximates the Reeb graph of the same space.
    We then construct an isomorphism between the mapper of (X,f) to the mapper of
    a super-level set of a probability density function concentrated on (X,f). Finally,
    building on the approach of Bobrowski et al. (Bernoulli 23(1):288–328, 2017b),
    we show that, with high probability, we can recover the mapper of the super-level
    set given a sufficiently large sample. Our work is the first to consider the mapper
    construction using the theory of cosheaves in a probabilistic setting. It is part
    of an ongoing effort to combine sheaf theory, probability, and statistics, to
    support topological data analysis with random data.'

  text: We call a continuous self-map that reveals itself through a discrete set of
    point-value pairs a sampled dynamical system. Capturing the available information
    with chain maps on Delaunay complexes, we use persistent homology to quantify
    the evidence of recurrent behavior. We establish a sampling theorem to recover
    the eigenspaces of the endomorphism on homology induced by the self-map. Using
    a combinatorial gradient flow arising from the discrete Morse theory for Čech
    and Delaunay complexes, we construct a chain map to transform the problem from
    the natural but expensive Čech complexes to the computationally efficient Delaunay
    triangulations. The fast chain map algorithm has applications beyond dynamical
    systems.

  text: 'In this paper we discuss three results. The first two concern general sets
    of positive reach: we first characterize the reach of a closed set by means of
    a bound on the metric distortion between the distance measured in the ambient
    Euclidean space and the shortest path distance measured in the set. Secondly,
    we prove that the intersection of a ball with radius less than the reach with
    the set is geodesically convex, meaning that the shortest path between any two
    points in the intersection lies itself in the intersection. For our third result
    we focus on manifolds with positive reach and give a bound on the angle between
    tangent spaces at two different points in terms of the reach and the distance
    between the two points.'

  text: "A central problem of algebraic topology is to understand the homotopy groups
    \ \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B)  of a topological space X. For the computational
    version of the problem, it is well known that there is no algorithm to decide
    whether the fundamental group  \U0001D70B1(\U0001D44B)  of a given finite simplicial
    complex X is trivial. On the other hand, there are several algorithms that, given
    a finite simplicial complex X that is simply connected (i.e., with   \U0001D70B1(\U0001D44B)
    \ trivial), compute the higher homotopy group   \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B)
    \ for any given   \U0001D451≥2 . However, these algorithms come with a caveat:
    They compute the isomorphism type of   \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B) ,   \U0001D451≥2
    \ as an abstract finitely generated abelian group given by generators and relations,
    but they work with very implicit representations of the elements of   \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B)
    . Converting elements of this abstract group into explicit geometric maps from
    the d-dimensional sphere   \U0001D446\U0001D451  to X has been one of the main
    unsolved problems in the emerging field of computational homotopy theory. Here
    we present an algorithm that, given a simply connected space X, computes   \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B)
    \ and represents its elements as simplicial maps from a suitable triangulation
    of the d-sphere   \U0001D446\U0001D451  to X. For fixed d, the algorithm runs
    in time exponential in   size(\U0001D44B) , the number of simplices of X. Moreover,
    we prove that this is optimal: For every fixed   \U0001D451≥2 , we construct a
    family of simply connected spaces X such that for any simplicial map representing
    a generator of   \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B) , the size of the triangulation
    of   \U0001D446\U0001D451  on which the map is defined, is exponential in size(\U0001D44B)
