Abstract

Motivated by the problem of dealing with incomplete or imprecise acquisition of data in computer vision and computer graphics, we extend results concerning the stability of persistent homology with respect to function perturbations to results concerning the stability with respect to domain perturbations. Domain perturbations can be measured in a number of different ways. An important method to compare domains is the Hausdorff distance. We show that by encoding sets using the distance function, the multidimensional matching distance between rank invariants of persistent homology groups is always upperly bounded by the Hausdorff distance between sets. Moreover we prove that our construction maintains information about the original set. Other well known methods to compare sets are considered, such as the symmetric difference distance between classical sets and the sup-distance between fuzzy sets. Also in these cases we present results stating that the multidimensional matching distance between rank invariants of persistent homology groups is upperly bounded by these distances. An experiment showing the potential of our approach concludes the paper.

The fifth algebraic transfer in generic degrees and validation of a localized Kameko's conjecture

This paper develops our previous works concerning the classical Peterson hit problem for the polynomial algebra on five variables over the mod--2 Steenrod algebra $\mathscr A$ in a generic family of degrees, together with applications to the fifth Singer algebraic transfer and a localized variation of Kameko's conjecture. As a topological illustration of the usefulness of the Steenrod algebra, we prove that $\mathbb{C}P^4/\mathbb{C}P^2$ and $\mathbb{S}^6\vee \mathbb{S}^8$ are not homotopy equivalent by showing that their mod--2 cohomologies are not isomorphic as $\mathscr A$-modules, and we further determine the homotopy type of the quotient $\mathbb{C}P^n/\mathbb{C}P^{\,n-2}$ for all $n\ge 3$. For the generic degrees under consideration, we determine the relevant cohit spaces and describe the associated $GL(5,\mathbb F_2)$-module structure. As a consequence, the fifth algebraic transfer is an isomorphism in an explicit infinite family of internal degrees. These results were independently verified by implementations in \texttt{SageMath} and \texttt{OSCAR}. We also study a localized form of Kameko's conjecture concerning the dimensions of the indecomposables $\mathbb F_2\otimes_{\mathscr A}\mathbb F_2[x_1,\ldots,x_m]$ relative to parameter vectors, and prove that this conjecture holds for all $m\ge 1$ in certain degrees.

A rigidity theorem for $π_*$-étale $\mathbb E_k$-algebras

We prove a rigidity theorem for $π_*$-étale $\mathbb E_k$-algebras over an $\mathbb E_{k+1}$-ring spectrum: the category of $π_*$-étale extensions of an $\mathbb E_k$-algebra is identified with the ordinary category of étale Dirac algebras over its graded homotopy Dirac ring. The proof develops a relative Goerss-Hopkins type obstruction theory in synthetic spectra, including an $I$-complete version. As an application, the completed obstruction theory constructs the $I_n$-complete $\mathbb E_3$-$MU_{(p)}$-algebra realization of the Lubin-Tate theory, hence an $\mathbb E_4$-orientation $MU_{(p)}\to E_n$.

Automated proofs of unstable Adams differentials

We present a computer-based approach to computing differentials in the unstable Adams spectral sequence by systematically applying the unstable Leibniz rule and naturality with respect to maps in the EHP sequence. We record our results in tables of upper and lower bounds on the orders of 2-primary unstable homotopy groups of spheres through the unstable 50-stem. We provide examples of proofs for several differentials and give a guide to interpreting the associated unstable Adams charts and flow chart diagrams for differential proofs.
