Workshop on Geometry, Topology, and Computation

Persistent homology is a method for computing the homology of a topological space from a finite point sample. The underlying idea is as follows: for varying t, put a ball of radius t around each point and compute the homology of the union of the balls. Under the assumption that the finite point sample was drawn from the uniform distribution on a manifold, a theorem by Niyogi, Smale and Weinberge tells us how to fix t to get the correct homology with high probability. In this talk, I want to discuss that one can use the Niyogi-Smale-Weinberger Theorem for computing the homology of algebraic varieties. The algebraic structure opens the path to sampling from the uniform distribution, estimating the volume and computing the rea
