  text: We discuss the embeddability of subspaces of the Gromov–Hausdorff space, which
    consists of isometry classes of compact metric spaces endowed with the Gromov–Hausdorff
    distance, into Hilbert spaces. These embeddings are particularly valuable for
    applications to topological data analysis. We prove that its subspace consisting
    of metric spaces with at most n points has asymptotic dimension n(n−1)∕2. Thus,
    there exists a coarse embedding of that space into a Hilbert space. On the contrary,
    if the number of points is not bounded, then the subspace cannot be coarsely embedded
    into any uniformly convex Banach space and so, in particular, into any Hilbert
    space. Furthermore, we prove that, even if we restrict to finite metric spaces
    whose diameter is bounded by some constant, the subspace still cannot be bi-Lipschitz
    embedded into any finite-dimensional Hilbert space. We obtain both nonembeddability
    results by finding obstructions to coarse and bi-Lipschitz embeddings in families
    of isometry classes of finite subsets of the real line endowed with the Euclidean–Hausdorff
    distance.

  text: Motivated by applications in chemistry, we give a homlogical definition of
    tunnels, or more generally cobordisms, connecting disjoint parts of a cell complex.
    For a filtered complex, this defines a persistence module. We give a method for
    identifying birth and death times using kernel persistence and a matrix reduction
    algorithm for pairing birth and death times.

  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: We solve a problem of Dujmović and Wood (2007) by showing that a complete
    convex geometric graph on n vertices cannot be decomposed into fewer than n -
    1 star-forests, each consisting of noncrossing edges. This bound is clearly tight.
    We also discuss similar questions for abstract graphs.

  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: "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: "Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a discipline utilizing the mathematical
    field of topology to study data, most prominently collections of point sets. This
    thesis summarizes three projects related to computations in TDA.\r\n\r\nThe first
    one establishes a variant of TDA for chromatic point sets, where each point is
    given a color. For example, we are given positions of cells within a tumor microenvironment,
    and color the cancerous cells red, and the immune cells blue.\r\n\r\nThe aim is
    then to give a quantitative description of how the two or more sets of points
    spatially interact. Building on image, kernel and cokernel variants of persistent
    homology, we suggest six-packs of persistent diagrams as such a descriptor.\r\n\r\nWe
    describe a construction of a chromatic alpha complex, which enables  efficient
    computation of several variants of the six-packs. We give topological descriptions
    of natural subcomplexes of the chromatic alpha complex, and show that the radii
    of the simplices form a discrete Morse function. Finally, we provide an implementation
    of the presented chromatic TDA pipeline.\r\n\r\nThe second part aims to translate
    a powerful tool of sheaf theory to elementary terms using labeled matrices. The
    goal is to enable their use in computational settings. We show that derived categories
    of sheaves over finite posets have, up to isomorphism, unique objects---minimal
    injective resolutions---and give a concrete algorithm to compute them. We further
    describe simple algorithms to compute derived pushforwards and pullbacks for monotonic
    maps, and their proper variants for inclusions, and demonstrate their tractability
    by providing an implementation. Finally, we suggest a discrete definition of microsupport
    and show desirable properties inspired by discrete Morse theory.\r\n\r\nIn the
    last part, we present a collection of observations about collapses. We give a
    characterization of collapsibility in terms of unitriangular submatrices of the
    boundary matrix, a cotree-tree decomposition, and the optimal solution to a variant
    of the Procrustes problem. We establish relation between dual collapses and relative
    Morse theory and pose several open questions. Finally, focusing on complexes embedded
    in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, we describe a relation between the collapsibility
    and the triviality of a polygonal knot."

  text: Simplets are elementary units within simplicial complexes and are fundamental
    for analyzing the structure of simplicial complexes. Previous efforts have mainly
    focused on accurately counting or approximating the number of simplets rather
    than studying their frequencies. However, analyzing simplet frequencies is more
    practical for large-scale simplicial complexes. This paper introduces the Simplet
    Frequency Distribution (SFD) vector, which enables the analysis of simplet frequencies
    in simplicial complexes. Additionally, we provide a bound on the sample complexity
    required to approximate the SFD vector using any uniform sampling-based algorithm
    accurately. We extend the definition of simplet frequency distribution to encompass
    simplices, allowing for the analysis of simplet frequencies within simplices of
    simplicial complexes. This paper introduces the Simplet Degree Vector (SDV) and
    the Simplet Degree Centrality (SDC), facilitating this analysis for each simplex.
    Furthermore, we present a bound on the sample complexity required for accurately
    approximating the SDV and SDC for a set of simplices using any uniform sampling-based
    algorithm. We also introduce algorithms for approximating SFD, geometric SFD,
    SDV, and SDC. We also validate the theoretical bounds with experiments on random
    simplicial complexes and demonstrate the practical application through a case
    study.

  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: The medial axis of a set consists of the points in the ambient space without
    a unique closest point in the original set. Since its introduction, the medial
    axis has been used extensively in many applications as a method of computing a
    skeleton topologically equivalent to the original set. Unfortunately, one limiting
    factor in the use of the medial axis of a smooth manifold is that it is not necessarily
    topologically stable under small perturbations of the manifold. To counter these
    instabilities, various prunings of the medial axis have been proposed in the computational
    geometry community. Here, we examine one type of pruning, called burning. Because
    of the good experimental results it was hoped that the burning method of simplifying
    the medial axis would be stable. In this work, we show a simple example that dashes
    such hopes. Based on Bing’s house with two rooms, we demonstrate an isotopy of
    a shape where the medial axis goes from collapsible to non-collapsible. More precisely,
    we consider the standard deformation retract from the closed ball to Bing’s house
    with two rooms, but stop just short of the point where Bing’s house becomes two
    dimensional. This way we obtain an isotopy from the 3-ball to a thickened version
    of Bing’s house. Under this isotopy, the medial axis goes from collapsible to
    non-collapsible. We stress that this isotopy can be made generic, in the sense
    of singularity theory, as developed by Arnol’d and Thom.

  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 establish several results combining discrete Morse theory and microlocal
    sheaf theory in the setting of finite posets and simplicial complexes. Our primary
    tool is a computationally tractable description of the bounded derived category
    of sheaves on a poset with the Alexandrov topology. We prove that each bounded
    complex of sheaves on a finite poset admits a unique (up to isomorphism of complexes)
    minimal injective resolution, and we provide algorithms for computing minimal
    injective resolution of an injective complex, as well as several useful functors
    between derived categories of sheaves. For the constant sheaf on a simplicial
    complex, we give asymptotically tight bounds on the complexity of computing the
    minimal injective resolution using those algorithms. Our main result is a novel
    definition of the discrete microsupport of a bounded complex of sheaves on a finite
    poset. We detail several foundational properties of the discrete microsupport,
    as well as a microlocal generalization of the discrete homological Morse theorem
    and Morse inequalities.

  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: 'Persistence modules (defined as a sequence of vector spaces and linear maps
    between them) are a key tool in topological data analysis. They are easy to interpret
    and fast to compute. However, when considering persistence maps (i.e. maps between
    persistence modules), these properties are lost. We propose a new invariant for
    persistence maps consisting of a partial matching such that: it is easy to interpret,
    it is more discriminative than the image of the persistence map, and can be calculated
    with cubical complexity.'

  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: 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)).
