Cohomological and Derived Persistence Theory of Functions

For most of my graduate studies I studied the persistence theory of functions through the lens of relative interlevel set cohomology (RISC). The results are consolidated in my thesis (submitted), which is a succession of the two preprints below (excluding Proposition 4.9 of arXiv:2108.09298).

Universality of Distances on Invariants of Functions

As a part of my graduate studies I studied the universality of the bottleneck distance for extended persistence diagrams and the interleaving distance of merge trees.

... Interleaving Distances on Merge Trees

Revision 805091eade88 is the state that I submitted as the content of my master thesis under the supervision of Professor Rolf Klein. I am grateful for several useful discussions - often with his group - and the generous funding through the DFG project (KL 655/19) (D-A-CH).

The Mayer-Vietoris Pyramid Sheaf-theoretically

Bridging Statistics and Sheaves
Abstract
We provide a sheaf-theoretical version of the Mayer-Vietoris pyramid, introduced by Carlsson, de Silva, and Morozov, together with a notion of interleavings. We hope we can use this to gain an understanding how interleavings of levelset persistence introduced by Curry relate to interleavings of extended persistence introduced by Bubenik and Scott. Another hope is we can extend some of our ideas to situations where only partial information is available. Our constructions are heavily inspired by Happel's descriptions of the derived categories of Dynkin quivers and the Abelianization of triangulated categories.
