text: "Point sets, geometric networks, and arrangements of hyperplanes are fundamental
objects in\r\ndiscrete geometry that have captivated mathematicians for centuries,
if not millennia. This\r\nthesis seeks to cast new light on these structures by
illustrating specific instances where a\r\ntopological perspective, specifically
through discrete Morse theory and persistent homology,\r\nprovides valuable insights.\r\n\r\nAt
first glance, the topology of these geometric objects might seem uneventful: point
sets\r\nessentially lack of topology, arrangements of hyperplanes are a decomposition
of Rd, which\r\nis a contractible space, and the topology of a network primarily
involves the enumeration\r\nof connected components and cycles within the network.
However, beneath this apparent\r\nsimplicity, there lies an array of intriguing
structures, a small subset of which will be uncovered\r\nin this thesis.\r\n\r\nFocused
on three case studies, each addressing one of the mentioned objects, this work\r\nwill
showcase connections that intertwine topology with diverse fields such as combinatorial\r\ngeometry,
algorithms and data structures, and emerging applications like spatial biology.\r\n\r\n"

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
algorithms for maintaining a\r\ncollection of sorted lists together with its persistence
diagram."

text: We propose a characterization of discrete analytical spheres, planes and lines
in the body-centered cubic (BCC) grid, both in the Cartesian and in the recently
proposed alternative compact coordinate system, in which each integer triplet
addresses some voxel in the grid. We define spheres and planes through double
Diophantine inequalities and investigate their relevant topological features,
such as functionality or the interrelation between the thickness of the objects
and their connectivity and separation properties. We define lines as the intersection
of planes. The number of the planes (up to six) is equal to the number of the
pairs of faces of a BCC voxel that are parallel to the line.

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: Consider a random set of points on the unit sphere in ℝd, which can be either
uniformly sampled or a Poisson point process. Its convex hull is a random inscribed
polytope, whose boundary approximates the sphere. We focus on the case d = 3,
for which there are elementary proofs and fascinating formulas for metric properties.
In particular, we study the fraction of acute facets, the expected intrinsic volumes,
the total edge length, and the distance to a fixed point. Finally we generalize
the results to the ellipsoid with homeoid density.

text: Generalizing Lee’s inductive argument for counting the cells of higher order
Voronoi tessellations in ℝ² to ℝ³, we get precise relations in terms of Morse
theoretic quantities for piecewise constant functions on planar arrangements.
Specifically, we prove that for a generic set of n ≥ 5 points in ℝ³, the number
of regions in the order-k Voronoi tessellation is N_{k-1} - binom(k,2)n + n, for
1 ≤ k ≤ n-1, in which N_{k-1} is the sum of Euler characteristics of these function’s
first k-1 sublevel sets. We get similar expressions for the vertices, edges, and
polygons of the order-k Voronoi tessellation.

text: Modeling a crystal as a periodic point set, we present a fingerprint consisting
of density functionsthat facilitates the efficient search for new materials and
material properties. We prove invarianceunder isometries, continuity, and completeness
in the generic case, which are necessary featuresfor the reliable comparison of
crystals. The proof of continuity integrates methods from discretegeometry and
lattice theory, while the proof of generic completeness combines techniques fromgeometry
with analysis. The fingerprint has a fast algorithm based on Brillouin zones and
relatedinclusion-exclusion formulae. We have implemented the algorithm and describe
its application tocrystal structure prediction.
acknowledgement: The authors thank Janos Pach for insightful discussions on the topic
of thispaper, Morteza Saghafian for finding the one-dimensional counterexample mentioned
in Section 5,and Larry Andrews for generously sharing his crystallographic perspective.

text: Various kinds of data are routinely represented as discrete probability distributions.
Examples include text documents summarized by histograms of word occurrences and
images represented as histograms of oriented gradients. Viewing a discrete probability
distribution as a point in the standard simplex of the appropriate dimension,
we can understand collections of such objects in geometric and topological terms. Importantly,
instead of using the standard Euclidean distance, we look into dissimilarity measures
with information-theoretic justification, and we develop the theory needed for
applying topological data analysis in this setting. In doing so, we emphasize
constructions that enable the usage of existing computational topology software
in this context.
