Doughnut or Mickey Mouse? Detecting Toroidal Structure in Data through Persistent Cup-Length
Understanding the structure of high-dimensional data is fundamental to neuroscience and other data-intensive scientific fields. While persistent homology effectively identifies basic topological features such as "holes," it lacks the ability to reliably detect more complex topologies, particularly toroidal structures, despite previous heuristic attempts. To address this limitation, recent work introduced persistent cup-length, a novel topological invariant derived from persistent cohomology. In…
