  text: We present criteria for establishing a triangulation of a manifold. Given
    a manifold M, a simplicial complex A, and a map H from the underlying space of
    A to M, our criteria are presented in local coordinate charts for M, and ensure
    that H is a homeomorphism. These criteria do not require a differentiable structure,
    or even an explicit metric on M. No Delaunay property of A is assumed. The result
    provides a triangulation guarantee for algorithms that construct a simplicial
    complex by working in local coordinate patches. Because the criteria are easily
    verified in such a setting, they are expected to be of general use.

  text: 'Kleinjohann (Archiv der Mathematik 35(1):574–582, 1980; Mathematische Zeitschrift
    176(3), 327–344, 1981) and Bangert (Archiv der Mathematik 38(1):54–57, 1982) extended
    the reach rch(S) from subsets S of Euclidean space to the reach rchM(S) of subsets
    S of Riemannian manifolds M, where M is smooth (we’ll assume at least C3). Bangert
    showed that sets of positive reach in Euclidean space and Riemannian manifolds
    are very similar. In this paper we introduce a slight variant of Kleinjohann’s
    and Bangert’s extension and quantify the similarity between sets of positive reach
    in Euclidean space and Riemannian manifolds in a new way: Given p∈M and q∈S, we
    bound the local feature size (a local version of the reach) of its lifting to
    the tangent space via the inverse exponential map (exp−1p(S)) at q, assuming that
    rchM(S) and the geodesic distance dM(p,q) are bounded. These bounds are motivated
    by the importance of the reach and local feature size to manifold learning, topological
    inference, and triangulating manifolds and the fact that intrinsic approaches
    circumvent the curse of dimensionality.'

  text: "Isomanifolds are the generalization of isosurfaces to arbitrary dimension
    and codimension, i.e., submanifolds of Rd defined as the zero set of some multivariate
    multivalued smooth function f:Rd→Rd−n, where n is the intrinsic dimension of the
    manifold. A natural way to approximate a smooth isomanifold M=f−1(0) is to consider
    its piecewise linear (PL) approximation M^\r\n based on a triangulation T of the
    ambient space Rd. In this paper, we describe a simple algorithm to trace isomanifolds
    from a given starting point. The algorithm works for arbitrary dimensions n and
    d, and any precision D. Our main result is that, when f (or M) has bounded complexity,
    the complexity of the algorithm is polynomial in d and δ=1/D (and unavoidably
    exponential in n). Since it is known that for δ=Ω(d2.5), M^ is O(D2)-close and
    isotopic to M\r\n, our algorithm produces a faithful PL-approximation of isomanifolds
    of bounded complexity in time polynomial in d. Combining this algorithm with dimensionality
    reduction techniques, the dependency on d in the size of M^ can be completely
    removed with high probability. We also show that the algorithm can handle isomanifolds
    with boundary and, more generally, isostratifolds. The algorithm for isomanifolds
    with boundary has been implemented and experimental results are reported, showing
    that it is practical and can handle cases that are far ahead of the state-of-the-art. "

  text: In this paper we introduce a pruning of the medial axis called the (λ,α)-medial
    axis (axλα). We prove that the (λ,α)-medial axis of a set K is stable in a Gromov-Hausdorff
    sense under weak assumptions. More formally we prove that if K and K′ are close
    in the Hausdorff (dH) sense then the (λ,α)-medial axes of K and K′ are close as
    metric spaces, that is the Gromov-Hausdorff distance (dGH) between the two is
    1/4-Hölder in the sense that dGH (axλα(K),axλα(K′)) ≲ dH(K,K′)1/4. The Hausdorff
    distance between the two medial axes is also bounded, by dH (axλα(K),λα(K′)) ≲
    dH(K,K′)1/2. These quantified stability results provide guarantees for practical
    computations of medial axes from approximations. Moreover, they provide key ingredients
    for studying the computability of the medial axis in the context of computable
    analysis.

  text: The medial axis of a set consists of the points in the ambient space without
    a unique closest point on the original set. Since its introduction, the medial
    axis has been used extensively in many applications as a method of computing a
    topologically equivalent skeleton. Unfortunately, one limiting factor in the use
    of the medial axis of a smooth manifold is that it is not necessarily topologically
    stable under small perturbations of the manifold. To counter these instabilities
    various prunings of the medial axis have been proposed. Here, we examine one type
    of pruning, called burning. Because of the good experimental results, it was hoped
    that the burning method of simplifying the medial axis would be stable. In this
    work we show a simple example that dashes such hopes based on Bing’s house with
    two rooms, demonstrating an isotopy of a shape where the medial axis goes from
    collapsible to non-collapsible.

  text: "Isomanifolds are the generalization of isosurfaces to arbitrary dimension
    and codimension, i.e. manifolds defined as the zero set of some multivariate vector-valued
    smooth function f : Rd → Rd−n. A natural (and efficient) way to approximate an
    isomanifold is to consider its Piecewise-Linear (PL) approximation based on a
    triangulation T of the ambient space Rd. In this paper, we give conditions under
    which the PL-approximation of an isomanifold is topologically equivalent to the
    isomanifold. The conditions are easy to satisfy in the sense that they can always
    be met by taking a sufficiently\r\nfine triangulation T . This contrasts with
    previous results on the triangulation of manifolds where, in arbitrary dimensions,
    delicate perturbations are needed to guarantee topological correctness, which
    leads to strong limitations in practice. We further give a bound on the Fréchet
    distance between the original isomanifold and its PL-approximation. Finally we
    show analogous results for the PL-approximation of an isomanifold with boundary."

  text: 'We consider the following setting: suppose that we are given a manifold M
    in Rd with positive reach. Moreover assume that we have an embedded simplical
    complex A without boundary, whose vertex set lies on the manifold, is sufficiently
    dense and such that all simplices in A have sufficient quality. We prove that
    if, locally, interiors of the projection of the simplices onto the tangent space

  text: Modeling a crystal as a periodic point set, we present a fingerprint consisting
    of density functionsthat facilitates the efficient search for new materials and
    material properties. We prove invarianceunder isometries, continuity, and completeness
    in the generic case, which are necessary featuresfor the reliable comparison of
    crystals. The proof of continuity integrates methods from discretegeometry and
    lattice theory, while the proof of generic completeness combines techniques fromgeometry
    with analysis. The fingerprint has a fast algorithm based on Brillouin zones and
    relatedinclusion-exclusion formulae. We have implemented the algorithm and describe
    its application tocrystal structure prediction.

  text: "Isomanifolds are the generalization of isosurfaces to arbitrary dimension
    and codimension, i.e. submanifolds of ℝ^d defined as the zero set of some multivariate
    multivalued smooth function f: ℝ^d → ℝ^{d-n}, where n is the intrinsic dimension
    of the manifold. A natural way to approximate a smooth isomanifold M is to consider
    its Piecewise-Linear (PL) approximation M̂ based on a triangulation \U0001D4AF
    of the ambient space ℝ^d. In this paper, we describe a simple algorithm to trace
    isomanifolds from a given starting point. The algorithm works for arbitrary dimensions
    n and d, and any precision D. Our main result is that, when f (or M) has bounded
    complexity, the complexity of the algorithm is polynomial in d and δ = 1/D (and
    unavoidably exponential in n). Since it is known that for δ = Ω (d^{2.5}), M̂
    is O(D²)-close and isotopic to M, our algorithm produces a faithful PL-approximation
    of isomanifolds of bounded complexity in time polynomial in d. Combining this
    algorithm with dimensionality reduction techniques, the dependency on d in the
    size of M̂ can be completely removed with high probability. We also show that
    the algorithm can handle isomanifolds with boundary and, more generally, isostratifolds.
    The algorithm for isomanifolds with boundary has been implemented and experimental
    results are reported, showing that it is practical and can handle cases that are
    far ahead of the state-of-the-art. "

  text: "Isomanifolds are the generalization of isosurfaces to arbitrary dimension
    and codimension, i.e. manifolds defined as the zero set of some multivariate vector-valued
    smooth function f: ℝ^d → ℝ^(d-n). A natural (and efficient) way to approximate
    an isomanifold is to consider its Piecewise-Linear (PL) approximation based on
    a triangulation \U0001D4AF of the ambient space ℝ^d. In this paper, we give conditions
    under which the PL-approximation of an isomanifold is topologically equivalent
    to the isomanifold. The conditions are easy to satisfy in the sense that they
    can always be met by taking a sufficiently fine triangulation \U0001D4AF. This
    contrasts with previous results on the triangulation of manifolds where, in arbitrary
    dimensions, delicate perturbations are needed to guarantee topological correctness,
    which leads to strong limitations in practice. We further give a bound on the
    Fréchet distance between the original isomanifold and its PL-approximation. Finally
    we show analogous results for the PL-approximation of an isomanifold with boundary. "

  text: Fejes Tóth [3] studied approximations of smooth surfaces in three-space by
    piecewise flat triangular meshes with a given number of vertices on the surface
    that are optimal with respect to Hausdorff distance. He proves that this Hausdorff
    distance decreases inversely proportional with the number of vertices of the approximating
    mesh if the surface is convex. He also claims that this Hausdorff distance is
    inversely proportional to the square of the number of vertices for a specific
    non-convex surface, namely a one-sheeted hyperboloid of revolution bounded by
    two congruent circles. We refute this claim, and show that the asymptotic behavior
    of the Hausdorff distance is linear, that is the same as for convex surfaces.

  text: Coxeter triangulations are triangulations of Euclidean space based on a single
    simplex. By this we mean that given an individual simplex we can recover the entire
    triangulation of Euclidean space by inductively reflecting in the faces of the
    simplex. In this paper we establish that the quality of the simplices in all Coxeter
    triangulations is O(1/d−−√) of the quality of regular simplex. We further investigate
    the Delaunay property for these triangulations. Moreover, we consider an extension
    of the Delaunay property, namely protection, which is a measure of non-degeneracy
    of a Delaunay triangulation. In particular, one family of Coxeter triangulations
    achieves the protection O(1/d2). We conjecture that both bounds are optimal for
    triangulations in Euclidean space.

  text: Fejes Tóth [5] and Schneider [9] studied approximations of smooth convex hypersurfaces
    in Euclidean space by piecewise  flat  triangular  meshes  with  a  given  number
    of  vertices  on  the  hypersurface  that  are  optimal  with respect  to  Hausdorff  distance.   They  proved  that  this
    Hausdorff distance decreases inversely proportional with m 2/(d−1),  where m is  the  number  of  vertices  and
    d is the  dimension  of  Euclidean  space.   Moreover  the  pro-portionality constant
    can be expressed in terms of the Gaussian curvature, an intrinsic quantity.  In
    this short note, we prove the extrinsic nature of this constant for manifolds
    of sufficiently high codimension.  We do so by constructing an family of isometric
    embeddings of the flat torus in Euclidean space.

  text: 'In this paper we discuss three results. The first two concern general sets
    of positive reach: we first characterize the reach of a closed set by means of
    a bound on the metric distortion between the distance measured in the ambient
    Euclidean space and the shortest path distance measured in the set. Secondly,
    we prove that the intersection of a ball with radius less than the reach with
    the set is geodesically convex, meaning that the shortest path between any two
    points in the intersection lies itself in the intersection. For our third result
    we focus on manifolds with positive reach and give a bound on the angle between
    tangent spaces at two different points in terms of the reach and the distance
    between the two points.'

  text: The construction of anisotropic triangulations is desirable for various applications,
    such as the numerical solving of partial differential equations and the representation
    of surfaces in graphics. To solve this notoriously difficult problem in a practical
    way, we introduce the discrete Riemannian Voronoi diagram, a discrete structure
    that approximates the Riemannian Voronoi diagram. This structure has been implemented
    and was shown to lead to good triangulations in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and on surfaces
    embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ as detailed in our experimental companion paper. In
    this paper, we study theoretical aspects of our structure. Given a finite set
    of points $\mathcal{P}$ in a domain $\Omega$ equipped with a Riemannian metric,
    we compare the discrete Riemannian Voronoi diagram of $\mathcal{P}$ to its Riemannian
    Voronoi diagram. Both diagrams have dual structures called the discrete Riemannian
    Delaunay and the Riemannian Delaunay complex. We provide conditions that guarantee
    that these dual structures are identical. It then follows from previous results
    that the discrete Riemannian Delaunay complex can be embedded in $\Omega$ under
    sufficient conditions, leading to an anisotropic triangulation with curved simplices.
    Furthermore, we show that, under similar conditions, the simplices of this triangulation
    can be straightened.

  text: We give non-degeneracy criteria for Riemannian simplices based on simplices
    in spaces of constant sectional curvature. It extends previous work on Riemannian
    simplices, where we developed Riemannian simplices with respect to Euclidean reference
    simplices. The criteria we give in this article are in terms of quality measures
    for spaces of constant curvature that we develop here. We see that simplices in
    spaces that have nearly constant curvature, are already non-degenerate under very
    weak quality demands. This is of importance because it allows for sampling of
    Riemannian manifolds based on anisotropy of the manifold and not (absolute) curvature.

  text: We introduce a multiscale topological description of the Megaparsec web-like
    cosmic matter distribution. Betti numbers and topological persistence offer a
    powerful means of describing the rich connectivity structure of the cosmic web
    and of its multiscale arrangement of matter and galaxies. Emanating from algebraic
    topology and Morse theory, Betti numbers and persistence diagrams represent an
    extension and deepening of the cosmologically familiar topological genus measure
    and the related geometric Minkowski functionals. In addition to a description
    of the mathematical background, this study presents the computational procedure
    for computing Betti numbers and persistence diagrams for density field filtrations.
    The field may be computed starting from a discrete spatial distribution of galaxies
    or simulation particles. The main emphasis of this study concerns an extensive
    and systematic exploration of the imprint of different web-like morphologies and
    different levels of multiscale clustering in the corresponding computed Betti
    numbers and persistence diagrams. To this end, we use Voronoi clustering models
    as templates for a rich variety of web-like configurations and the fractal-like
    Soneira-Peebles models exemplify a range of multiscale configurations. We have
    identified the clear imprint of cluster nodes, filaments, walls, and voids in
    persistence diagrams, along with that of the nested hierarchy of structures in
    multiscale point distributions. We conclude by outlining the potential of persistent
    topology for understanding the connectivity structure of the cosmic web, in large
    simulations of cosmic structure formation and in the challenging context of the
    observed galaxy distribution in large galaxy surveys.
