Omni-field Persistence¶

It’s possible to compute persistence over all fields $Z_{p}$ at once, by doing some extra bookkeeping. OmniFieldPersistence performs the necessary operations. We start with a triangulation of the Klein bottle:

>>> klein_bottle = [[0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8],
...       [0,1], [1,2], [2,0], [0,3], [3,4], [4,0],
...       [1,5], [5,6], [6,2], [2,7], [7,8], [8,1],
...       [3,5], [5,7], [7,3], [4,6], [6,8], [8,4],
...       [0,5], [1,7], [2,3], [3,6], [5,8], [7,4],
...       [4,2], [6,1], [8,0],
...       [0,3,5], [0,1,5], [1,5,7], [1,2,7], [2,7,3], [2,3,0],
...       [3,4,6], [3,5,6], [5,6,8], [5,7,8], [7,8,4], [7,3,4],
...       [4,0,2], [4,6,2], [6,2,1], [6,8,1], [8,1,0], [8,4,0]]
>>> f = d.Filtration(klein_bottle)
>>> print(f)
Filtration with 54 simplices

We can compute persistence over all fields $Z_{p}$ at once:

>>> ofp = d.omnifield_homology_persistence(f)

We can examine which primes produce special results. This does not necessarily mean that persistence diagram over the respective finite fields looks different, but it does indicate that something special happened during the reduction. In contrast, for any prime not in this list, the persistence diagrams look the same.

>>> print(ofp.primes())
[2]

To access the results, we can construct persistence diagrams over a particular $Z_{p}$ . E.g., over $Z_{2}$ , we get:

>>> dgms = d.init_diagrams(ofp, f, 2)
>>> for i, dgm in enumerate(dgms):
...     print("Dimension:", i)
...     for pt in dgm:
...         print(pt)
Dimension: 0
(0,inf)
Dimension: 1
(0,inf)
(0,inf)
Dimension: 2
(0,inf)

Indicating that $H_{0} (K, Z_{2}) = Z_{2}, H_{1} (K, Z_{2}) = Z_{2} \oplus Z_{2}, H_{2} (K, Z_{2}) = Z_{2}$ .

But over $Z_{3}$ (as well as over any other $Z_{p}$ ), we get:

>>> dgms = d.init_diagrams(ofp, f, 3)
>>> for i, dgm in enumerate(dgms):
...     print("Dimension:", i)
...     for pt in dgm:
...         print(pt)
Dimension: 0
(0,inf)
Dimension: 1
(0,inf)
Dimension: 2

Indicating that $H_{0} (K, Z_{3}) = Z_{3}, H_{1} (K, Z_{3}) = Z_{3}, H_{2} (K, Z_{3}) = 0$ .

It’s possible to examine the columns of the reduced matrices over any given prime:

 >>> for i in range(len(ofp)):
 ...     if ofp.special(i, 2):
 ...         print("Column %d mod %d:" % (i,2), ofp.column(i, 2))
 ...         print("Column %d mod %d:" % (i,3), ofp.column(i, 3))
 Column 53 mod 2:
 Column 53 mod 3: 1*9 + 1*10 + 2*11
