The cosmological principle (CP)—the notion that the Universe is spatially isotropic and
homogeneous on large scales—underlies a century of progress in cosmology. It is …

A universal null-distribution for topological data analysis

O Bobrowski, P Skraba - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
One of the most elusive challenges within the area of topological data analysis is
understanding the distribution of persistence diagrams arising from data. Despite much effort …

The persistence landscape and some of its properties

P Bubenik - Topological Data Analysis: The Abel Symposium 2018, 2020 - Springer
Persistence landscapes map persistence diagrams into a function space, which may often
be taken to be a Banach space or even a Hilbert space. In the latter case, it is a feature map …

Homological percolation and the Euler characteristic

O Bobrowski, P Skraba - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
In this paper we study the connection between the zeros of the expected Euler characteristic
curve and the phenomenon which we refer to as homological percolation—the formation of …

Persistent homology of the cosmic web–I. Hierarchical topology in ΛCDM cosmologies
