Reduced representations of complexes, signals, and multifiltrations
The field of computational topology has developed many powerful tools to describe the shape of data, offering an alternative point of view from classical statistics. This results in a variety of complex structures that are not always directly amenable for ...
EPFL2022Collapse-invariant properties of spaces equipped with signals or directions
Collapsing cell complexes was first introduced in the 1930's as a way to deform a space into a topological-equivalent subspace with a sequence of elementary moves. Recently, discrete Morse theory techniques provided an efficient way to construct deformatio ...
EPFL2022Beyond Developable: Computational Design and Fabrication with Auxetic Materials
Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng, Mina Konakovic Lukovic
We present a computational method for interactive 3D design and rationalization of surfaces via auxetic materials, i.e., flat flexible material that can stretch uniformly up to a certain extent. A key motivation for studying such material is that one can a ...
Assoc Computing Machinery2016Waldhausen K-theory of spaces via comodules
Let X be a simplicial set. We construct a novel adjunction be- tween the categories RX of retractive spaces over X and ComodX+ of X+- comodules, then apply recent work on left-induced model category structures [5], [16] to establish the existence of a left ...
Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science2016A generalized mountain-pass theorem: the existence of multiple critical points
We analyse the existence of multiple critical points for an even functional J : H -> R in the following context: the Hilbert space H can be split into an orthogonal sum H = Y circle plus Z in such a way that inf{J(u) : u is an element of Z and parallel to ...
Springer Heidelberg2016Bi-Jacobi Fields And Riemannian Cubics For Left-Invariant SO(3)
Bi-Jacobi fields are generalized Jacobi fields, and are used to efficiently compute approximations to Riemannian cubic splines in a Riemannian manifold M. Calculating bi-Jacobi fields is straightforward when M is a symmetric space such as bi-invariant SO(3 ...
Int Press Boston, Inc2016HIGHER MORSE MODULI SPACES AND n-CATEGORIES
We generalize Cohen & Jones & Segal's flow category, whose objects are the critical points of a Morse function and whose morphisms are the Morse moduli spaces between the critical points to an n-category. The n-category construction involves repeatedly doi ...
Int Press Boston, Inc2014On The Image Of The Almost Strict Morse N-Category Under Almost Strict N-Functors
In an earlier work, we constructed the almost strict Morse n-category X which extends Cohen Sz Jones Sz Segal's flow category. In this article, we define two other almost strict n-categories V and W where V is based on homomorphisms between real vector spa ...
Mount Allison University2014A counter-example to a conjecture of Felix
If X is a simply connected space of finite type, then the rational homotopy groups of the based loop space of X possess the structure of a graded Lie algebra, denoted L-x. The radical of L-x, which is an important rational homotopy invariant of X, is of fi ...
Elsevier2011Cobordism, Cohomology Theories and Formal Group Laws
We first explore the notion of G-manifold, cobordism and then discuss the generalized Pontrjagin-Thom Theorem. We then compute the cobordism rings Ω (...) using stable homotopy theory. Secondly, we investigate the relations between cohomology theories and ...
