Abstract

This work introduces the development of path Dirac and hypergraph Dirac operators, along with an exploration of their persistence. These operators excel in distinguishing between harmonic and non-harmonic spectra, offering valuable insights into the subcomplexes within these structures. The paper showcases the functionality of these operators through a series of examples in various contexts. An important facet of this research involves examining the operators' sensitivity to filtration, emphasizing their capacity to adapt to topological changes. The paper also explores a significant application of persistent path Dirac and persistent hypergraph Dirac in the field of molecular science, specifically in the analysis of molecular structures. The study introduces strict preorders derived from molecular structures, which generate graphs and digraphs with intricate path structures. The depth of information within these path complexes reflects the complexity of different preorder classes influenced by molecular structures. This characteristic underscores the effectiveness of these tools in the realm of topological data analysis.

Homogeneous Milnor fibers and Kato--Matsumoto bounds via simplicial multiwedges

For every $n\geq 3$ and $s\geq 2$, we construct a homogeneous polynomial of degree $n(n+1)/2$ whose Milnor fiber is exactly $2s$-connected and whose rational cohomology contains a strictly defined nontrivial $n$-fold Massey product on classes of degree $2s+1$, implying that the Milnor fiber is non-formal, while attaining the Kato--Matsumoto connectivity bound. Our construction is based on the simplicial multiwedges of the nerve complexes of simple polytopes introduced by Limonchenko, combined with Suciu's realization of weighted homogeneous Milnor fibers. We thereby answer two problems posed by Suciu.

The homotopy types of directed path and trace spaces

We construct a saturated directed space with a Hausdorff $\Delta$-generated underlying space and two distinct points such that the trace space between them is homeomorphic to a square, whereas the directed path space has a nontrivial fundamental group. In particular, the canonical quotient map is not a weak homotopy equivalence. The same conclusion holds for regular directed paths modulo increasing homeomorphisms.

Moduli spaces of geometric functorial field theories

We develop tools to compute moduli spaces of geometric functorial field theories as mapping spaces of equivariant simplicial presheaves. Given a d-dimensional geometric structure F, presented as a presheaf on the site of smooth families of d-manifolds, we define its Cartesian realization, which is an O(d)-equivariant simplicial presheaf on the site of Cartesian spaces. We use Cartesian realizations to present the moduli space of functorial field theories with geometric structure F as a mapping space between O(d)-equivariant simplicial presheaves. In a companion paper, we use this result to compute the moduli space of smooth one-dimensional oriented Riemannian functorial field theories valued in an arbitrary smooth symmetric monoidal infinity-category.
