The persistent homology of a sampled map: from a viewpoint of quiver representations (Q2240092)

The main contribution of the paper is to extend the definition of persistent homology induced maps of correspondences using the framework of quiver representations by using direct summands of representations, that uniquely determine a persistent homology. The stability theorem is proved, moreover the author shows that the output persistent homology of the sampled map is the same as that of the underlying map if the sample is sufficiently dense. The novelty of this approach is that no prior information related to the eigenvalues of the underlying map is required
