Generalized persistence and applications
September 15 to September 19, 2014
at the
American Institute of Mathematics,
San Jose, California
organized by
Anthony Bak and Dmitriy Morozov
Original Announcement
This workshop will be devoted to
generalizations of persistent homology with a particular emphasis on
finding calculable algebraic invariants useful for applications.
Applications of persistence -- for example, signal processing, drug
design, tumor identification, shape classification, and geometric
inference -- rely on the classification of persistence via barcodes,
geometrization of the space of barcodes via metrics or as an algebraic
variety, and on efficient algorithms. Accordingly, this workshop will
bring together theoriticians, computer scientist, and the users of
computational topology.
The main topics for the workshop are:
- Generalizations of persistence: multidimensional persistence, well
groups, (co)sheaves
- Algorithms
- Geometrization
- Applications
