Abstract: Persistent homology has emerged in the past decade or so as a very useful technique for creating topological descriptors of complex shapes. This modification of standard homology to account for a notion of scale has many interesting theoretical properties and is now one of the central tools of the topological data analysis. In my talk I will provide an overview of persistent homology and its main applications.
Speaker information
Professor Jacek Brodzki ,I am interested in noncommutative geometry and its various applications and methods. This includes K-theory of operator algebras, Baum-Connes conjecture and related problems, exactness of group C* algebras, cyclic type homology theories.
