Title: The topology of finite metric spaces

Speaker: Gunnar Carlsson, Stanford University

Seminar TypeTopology, Geometry and Data

Abstract: Persistent topology can be viewed as a method for extending the methods of homotopy theory to discrete objects, namely finite metric spaces. There is a history of this kind of development, in the context of algebraic varieties. We will discuss both directions, both from the point of view of similarities and differences between them. We will suggest directions for the development of the persistence methods.
