Computational tasks resulting from Chern-Weil theory

I have recently learned Chern-Weil theory for smooth and complex manifolds, as well as surrounding material on cohomology with integral coefficients. I am curious what computational tasks are ...

Description of a point cloud being "undersampled" wrt persistent homology, confidence level?

I am completely new to topological data analysis, so I apologise if this is a well-known area of persistent homology, as well as for any imprecise language. Suppose we know completely the topological ...

Persistent diagrams for images : existing implementations or packages?

I am interest to compute the persistent diagram associated to the image of a persistent module as in ''Persistent Homology for Kernels, Images, and Cokernels'' : https://epubs.siam.org/doi/epdf/10....

Are there any non-elementary functions that are computable?

Does a function $\mathit{f}:\mathbb{R}→\mathbb{R}$ being non-elementary (not expressible as a combination of finitely many elementary operations), imply that it is not computable? The particular case ...

Are hyperbolic $n$-manifolds recursively enumerable?

Fixing a dimension $n \ge 4$, is the class of closed hyperbolic $n$-manifolds recursively enumerable? Since hyperbolic manifolds are triangulable I can reformulate this in the following more explicit ...

Is there an upper bound on the number of points in point cloud for which we compute the persistent homology?

I am interested in the topic of persistent homology (topological data analysis). According to what I read, there is some roadblock in the analysis of "big data" using persistent homology as it is ...

Computing homology of subvarieties of Euclidean spaces by persistent homology

Let $M$ be a submanifold of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$. Let $G$ be a finite group acting on $M$ freely. I want to compute the homology (or even the cohomology ring) of $M/G$. Suppose the ...

Biggest ball included in an intersection of balls

I would like to prove that for any family of balls $\{B(c_i,r_i)\}_i \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ such that $\{c_1, \dots, c_n\} \subset \bigcap_i B(c_i,r_i) $ and $\forall i, r_i \geq 1$, there exists a ...

Triangulation of the surface determined by sampling two of its cross-sections

I have a data set that essentially looks like the picture below, i.e., it's given by sets of points in $\mathbb{R}^3$ that sample the cross-sections of a certain surface that in principle I do not ...

Computational software in Algebraic Topology?

I was wondering if there is any good software out there that allows you to do specific computations in algebraic topology. For example: Create a simplicial complex/set and ask questions about its ...
