  text: Given a locally finite set A⊆Rd and a coloring χ:A→{0,1,…,s}, we introduce
    the chromatic Delaunay mosaic of χ, which is a Delaunay mosaic in Rs+d that represents
    how points of different colors mingle. Our main results are bounds on the size
    of the chromatic Delaunay mosaic, in which we assume that d and s are constants.
    For example, if A is finite with n=#A, and the coloring is random, then the chromatic
    Delaunay mosaic has O(n⌈d/2⌉) cells in expectation. In contrast, for Delone sets
    and Poisson point processes in Rd, the expected number of cells within a closed
    ball is only a constant times the number of points in this ball. Furthermore,
    in R2 all colorings of a dense set of n points have chromatic Delaunay mosaics
    of size O(n). This encourages the use of chromatic Delaunay mosaics in applications.

  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 local angle property of the (order-1) Delaunay triangulations of a generic
    set in R2\r\n asserts that the sum of two angles opposite a common edge is less
    than π. This paper extends this property to higher order and uses it to generalize
    two classic properties from order-1 to order-2: (1) among the complete level-2
    hypertriangulations of a generic point set in R2, the order-2 Delaunay triangulation
    lexicographically maximizes the sorted angle vector; (2) among the maximal level-2
    hypertriangulations of a generic point set in R2, the order-2 Delaunay triangulation
    is the only one that has the local angle property. We also use our method of establishing
    (2) to give a new short proof of the angle vector optimality for the (order-1)
    Delaunay triangulation. For order-1, both properties have been instrumental in
    numerous applications of Delaunay triangulations, and we expect that their generalization
    will make order-2 Delaunay triangulations more attractive to applications as well."

  text: "We generalize a classical result by Boris Delaunay that introduced Delaunay
    triangulations. In particular, we prove that for a locally finite and coarsely
    dense generic point set A in ℝ^d, every generic point of ℝ^d belongs to exactly
    binom(d+k,d) simplices whose vertices belong to A and whose circumspheres enclose
    exactly k points of A. We extend this result to the cases in which the points
    are weighted, and when A contains only finitely many points in ℝ^d or in \U0001D54A^d.
    Furthermore, we use the result to give a new geometric proof for the fact that
    volumes of hypersimplices are Eulerian numbers."

  text: In numerous fields, dynamic time series data require continuous updates, necessitating
    efficient data processing techniques for accurate analysis. This paper examines
    the banana tree data structure, specifically designed to efficiently maintain
    the multi-scale topological descriptor commonly known as persistent homology for
    dynamically changing time series data. We implement this data structure and conduct
    an experimental study to assess its properties and runtime for update operations.
    Our findings indicate that banana trees are highly effective with unbiased random
    data, outperforming state-of-the-art static algorithms in these scenarios. Additionally,
    our results show that real-world time series share structural properties with
    unbiased random walks, suggesting potential practical utility for our implementation.

  text: Motivated by questions arising at the intersection of information theory and
    geometry, we compare two dissimilarity measures between finite categorical distributions.
    One is the well-known Jensen–Shannon divergence, which is easy to compute and
    whose square root is a proper metric. The other is what we call the minmax divergence,
    which is harder to compute. Just like the Jensen–Shannon divergence, it arises
    naturally from the Kullback–Leibler divergence. The main contribution of this
    paper is a proof showing that the minmax divergence can be tightly approximated
    by the Jensen–Shannon divergence. The bounds suggest that the square root of the
    minmax divergence is a metric, and we prove that this is indeed true in the one-dimensional
    case. The general case remains open. Finally, we consider analogous questions
    in the context of another Bregman divergence and the corresponding Burbea–Rao
    (Jensen–Bregman) divergence.

  text: "We study flips in hypertriangulations of planar points sets. Here a level-k
    hypertriangulation of n\r\n points in the plane is a subdivision induced by the
    projection of a k-hypersimplex, which is the convex hull of the barycenters of
    the (k-1)-dimensional faces of the standard (n-1)-simplex. In particular, we introduce
    four types of flips and prove that the level-2 hypertriangulations are connected
    by these flips.\r\n"

  text: Motivated by applications in medical sciences, we study finite chromatic sets
    in Euclidean space from a topological perspective. Based on the persistent homology
    for images, kernels and cokernels, we design provably stable homological quantifiers
    that describe the geometric micro- and macro-structure of how the color classes
    mingle. These can be efficiently computed using chromatic variants of Delaunay
    and alpha complexes, and code that does these computations is provided.

  text: 'The Upper Bound Theorem for convex polytopes implies that the p-th Betti
    number of the Čech complex of any set of N points in ℝ^d and any radius satisfies
    β_p = O(N^m), with m = min{p+1, ⌈d/2⌉}. We construct sets in even and odd dimensions,
    which prove that this upper bound is asymptotically tight. For example, we describe
    a set of N = 2(n+1) points in ℝ³ and two radii such that the first Betti number
    of the Čech complex at one radius is (n+1)² - 1, and the second Betti number of
    the Čech complex at the other radius is n². '

  text: The medial axis of a smoothly embedded surface in R^3 consists of all points
    for which the Euclidean distance function on the surface has at least two global
    minima. We generalize this notion to the mid-sphere axis, which consists of all
    points for which the Euclidean distance function has two interchanging saddles
    that swap their partners in the pairing by persistent homology. It offers a discrete-algebraic
    multi-scale approach to computing ridge-like structures on the surface. As a proof
    of concept, an algorithm that computes stair-case approximations of the mid-sphere
    axis is provided.

  text: The approximation of a circle with the edges of a fine square grid distorts
    the perimeter by a factor about 4/Pi. We prove that this factor is the same on
    average (in the ergodic sense) for approximations of any rectifiable curve by
    the edges of any non-exotic Delaunay mosaic (known as Voronoi path), and extend
    the results to all dimensions, generalizing Voronoi paths to Voronoi scapes.

  text: "In 1873, James C. Maxwell conjectured that the electric field generated by
    $n$ point charges in generic position has at most $(n-1)^2$ isolated zeroes. The
    first (non-optimal) upper bound was only obtained in 2007 by Gabrielov, Novikov
    and Shapiro, who also posed two additional interesting conjectures.\r\n In this
    article, we give the best upper bound known to date on the number of zeroes of
    the electric field, and construct a counterexample to a conjecture of Gabrielov,
    Novikov and Shapiro that the number of equilibria cannot exceed those of the distance
    function defined by the unit point charges.\r\n Finally, we note that it is quite
    possible that Maxwell's quadratic upper bound is not tight, so it is prudent to
    find smaller bounds. Hence, we also explore examples and construct configurations
    of charges achieving the highest ratios of the number of electric field zeroes
    by point charges found to this day."

  text: For a locally finite set in R2, the order-k Brillouin tessellations form an
    infinite sequence of convex face-to-face tilings of the plane. If the set is coarsely
    dense and generic, then the corresponding infinite sequences of minimum and maximum
    angles are both monotonic in k. As an example, a stationary Poisson point process
    in R2  is locally finite, coarsely dense, and generic with probability one. For
    such a set, the distributions of angles in the Voronoi tessellations, Delaunay
    mosaics, and Brillouin tessellations are independent of the order and can be derived
    from the formula for angles in order-1 Delaunay mosaics given by Miles (Math.
    Biosci. 6, 85–127 (1970)).

  text: "Abstract\r\nMethods used in topological data analysis naturally capture higher-order
    interactions in point cloud data embedded in a metric space. This methodology
    was recently extended to data living in an information space, by which we mean
    a space measured with an information theoretical distance. One such setting is
    a finite collection of discrete probability distributions embedded in the probability
    simplex measured with the relative entropy (Kullback–Leibler divergence). More
    generally, one can work with a Bregman divergence parameterized by a different
    notion of entropy. While theoretical algorithms exist for this setup, there is
    a paucity of implementations for exploring and comparing geometric-topological
    properties of various information spaces. The interest of this work is therefore
    twofold. First, we propose the first robust algorithms and software for geometric
    and topological data analysis in information space. Perhaps surprisingly, despite
    working with Bregman divergences, our design reuses robust libraries for the Euclidean
    case. Second, using the new software, we take the first steps towards understanding
    the geometric-topological structure of these spaces. In particular, we compare
    them with the more familiar spaces equipped with the Euclidean and Fisher metrics."

  text: Given a finite set, A ⊆ ℝ², and a subset, B ⊆ A, the MST-ratio is the combined
    length of the minimum spanning trees of B and A⧵B divided by the length of the
    minimum spanning tree of A. The question of the supremum, over all sets A, of
    the maximum, over all subsets B, is related to the Steiner ratio, and we prove
    this sup-max is between 2.154 and 2.427. Restricting ourselves to 2-dimensional
    lattices, we prove that the sup-max is 2, while the inf-max is 1.25. By some margin
    the most difficult of these results is the upper bound for the inf-max, which
    we prove by showing that the hexagonal lattice cannot have MST-ratio larger than
    1.25.

  text: Exploring the shape of point configurations has been a key driver in the evolution
    of TDA (short for topological data analysis) since its infancy. This survey illustrates
    the recent efforts to broaden these ideas to model spatial interactions among
    multiple configurations, each distinguished by a color. It describes advances
    in this area and prepares the ground for further exploration by mentioning unresolved
    questions and promising research avenues while focusing on the overlap with discrete
    geometry.

  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: The Upper Bound Theorem for convex polytopes implies that the p-th Betti number
    of the Čech complex of any set of N points in ℝ^d and any radius satisfies β_p
    = O(N^m), with m = min{p+1, ⌈d/2⌉}. We construct sets in even and odd dimensions,
    which prove that this upper bound is asymptotically tight. For example, we describe
    a set of N = 2(n+1) points in ℝ³ and two radii such that the first Betti number
    of the Čech complex at one radius is (n+1)² - 1, and the second Betti number of
    the Čech complex at the other radius is n². In particular, there is an arrangement
    of n contruent balls in ℝ³ that enclose a quadratic number of voids, which answers
    a long-standing open question in computational geometry.

  text: "For a locally finite set, \U0001D434⊆ℝ\U0001D451\r\n, the \U0001D458\r\nth
    Brillouin zone of \U0001D44E∈\U0001D434\r\n is the region of points \U0001D465∈ℝ\U0001D451\r\n
    for which ‖\U0001D465−\U0001D44E‖\r\n is the \U0001D458\r\nth smallest among the
    Euclidean distances between \U0001D465\r\n and the points in \U0001D434\r\n. If
    \U0001D434\r\n is a lattice, the \U0001D458\r\nth Brillouin zones of the points
    in \U0001D434\r\n are translates of each other, and together they tile space.
    Depending on the value of \U0001D458\r\n, they express medium- or long-range order
    in the set. We study fundamental geometric and combinatorial properties of Brillouin
    zones, focusing on the integer lattice and its perturbations. Our results include
    the stability of a Brillouin zone under perturbations, a linear upper bound on
    the number of chambers in a zone for lattices in ℝ2\r\n, and the convergence of
    the maximum volume of a chamber to zero for the integer lattice."

  text: "Motivated by applications to crystalline materials, we generalize the merge
    tree and the related barcode of a filtered complex to the periodic setting in
    Euclidean space. They are invariant under isometries, changing bases, and indeed
    changing lattices. In addition, we prove stability under perturbations and provide
    an algorithm that under mild geometric conditions typically satisfied by crystalline
    materials takes O((n+m)logn) time, in which n and m are the numbers of vertices
    and edges in the quotient complex, respectively.\r\n"
