This is a 9 ECTS (270 h) course targeted at master-level Computer Science and Mathematics students.
Fundamental concepts of relative homology and cohomology theory and persistence theory in computational settings, category theory in this context, algorithms for the computation of (persistent) homology, (extended) persistence modules and their decompositions, Morse theory, duality theorems, quiver representation theory, stability of persistence diagrams and barcodes, algebraic stability, topological filtrations, multiparameter persistence, invariants of persistence, topological data analysis, applications to shape pattern recognition, machine learning, identification of geometric objects.
There will be oral exams (possibly via Zoom) at the end of the semester.
The lectures will not adhere to any book. Instead, lecture notes made specifically for the course will be made available. Helpful literature for the course includes the following.
