Gonna try using Bluesky again.

Here's a funny picture I found the other day on a paper

GitHub - gdisarra/topology-degree: Demo and tutorial for the computation of the topology degree Demo and tutorial for the computation of the topology degree - gdisarra/topology-degree

🚀 Just released a new tool for the neuroscience and Topological Data Analysis communities!
🔗 github.com/gdisarra/top...

The topology-degree repository provides code and methods to quantify the topology in high-dimensional data using persistent homology.

@jeffgian.bsky.social Do you ever need to use spinors when doing Lattice QCD? To consider quarks, and not just gluons?

Topological Data Analysis of Abelian Magnetic Monopoles in Gauge Theories Motivated by recent literature on the possible existence of a second higher-temperature phase transition in Quantum Chromodynamics, we revisit the proposal that colour confinement is related to the dy...

Xavier Crean, @jeffgian.bsky.social and Biagio Lucini worked on analysing the topological data arising from lattice gauge theory, like Lattice QCD. See : arxiv.org/abs/2501.19320

I think this is one of the super meaningful applications of TDA, because the data is intrinsically topological (SU(3)).

If you apply the path integral approach to a discretised computer simulation of QCD, you get Lattice QCD. When doing Lattice QCD, I think you assign SU(3) elements to each edge of a 4D cubical grid. That now gives you ... some topological data. Tada..!

The QCD Lagrangian has a Dirac operator which makes quarks and gluons interact. With this Lagrangian, you can either write down scattering amplitudes or Feynman path integrals. My understanding is that the path integral approach still keeps the differential geometry intact.

I forgot what a spinor is.. a Spin group is a subset of a Clifford algebra. You need this stuff to define fermions, which are electrons and quarks (and other stuff like neutrino). To define quantum chromodynamics (QCD), you get the spin bundle and also a SU(3)-bundle and define a Lagrangian.

A connection 1-form is also called a gauge field. This formalises, for example, gluon fields. For a full formal account of the standard model, you still need a lot more abstract machinery. Next up is spinors.

A connection 1-form omega is a g-valued 1-form on P, satisfying some well-behavedness wrt G. Ehremsann connection and connection 1-form are equivalent notions, and the horizontal subspace specified in Ehresmann connection is exactly the kernel of the projection map specified by a connection 1-form.

An Ehresmann connection H is a sub-bundle of the tangent bundle of a principal G-bundle P->M (double bundle??) The rank of H is equal to the dimension of the base manifold M. H is chosen so that it's "horizontal" and well-behaved wrt G-action.

Learning gauge theory nowadays, another attempt to learn more mathematical physics

A computation that took us over 8 hours now only takes 15 seconds with tropical geometry! Very excited that Oskar Henriksson will join the algebra in data analysis (AIDA) group @mpicbg.bsky.social @tudresden.bsky.social

Cover Learning for Large-Scale Topology Representation Classical unsupervised learning methods like clustering and linear dimensionality reduction parametrize large-scale geometry when it is discrete or linear, while more modern methods from manifold lear...

My paper with Luis Scoccola and @haharrington.bsky.social were accepted to present in ICML 2025 🥳🥳
We use gradient descent to solve a fundamental problem in computational topology: Compute a topologically good cover of a dataset. It improves Mapper and persistent homology!

Hi, this is my new professional account :)
I'm a mathematician working on geometry and topology of data. Recently I'm focused on Bobrowski-Skraba's universal statistical law of persistent homology, and also neuroscience applications - toroidal grid cell topology.

helo

would u accept "shittification"
also theres a math word called "sheafification"

me soon

A stunning performance this season. Only more good things to come.

reminds me of the "The Boring Side" that the ingredient lists get written as for the "hip" companies like Oatley and Aussie
