Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

At the end of the course, the student knows the main theoretical results and techniques used in topological data analysis (e.g., persistent homology, Mapper), and some examples of their application to data comparison and machine intelligence.

Contenuti

Introduction to Topological Data Analysis (TDA).

Topological groups. If X is a compact metric space, then the group Homeo(X) of all homeomorphisms of X is a topological group that acts continuously on C⁰(X, R). Definition of the natural pseudo-distance associated with a subgroup G of Homeo (X). Main properties of the natural pseudo-distance.

Some reminder of simplicial homology and singular homology. Persistent homology and persistence diagrams. Comparison of persistence diagrams via the bottleneck distance. Stability of persistence diagrams.

Multiparameter persistence. Main definitions in multiparameter persistence. The foliation method. Monodromy in multiparameter persistent homology.

Non-expansive equivariant operators (GENEOs). Definition of GENEO. Some theoretical results about GENEOs. Links between GENEOs and TDA.

Applications of Topological Data Analysis. Applications of persistent homology. Applications of group equivariant non-expansive operators.
