  text: "We study the topology generated by the temperature fluctuations of the cosmic
    microwave background (CMB) radiation, as quantified by the number of components
    and holes, formally given by the Betti numbers, in the growing excursion sets.
    We compare CMB maps observed by the Planck satellite with a thousand simulated
    maps generated according to the ΛCDM paradigm with Gaussian distributed fluctuations.
    The comparison is multi-scale, being performed on a sequence of degraded maps
    with mean pixel separation ranging from 0.05 to 7.33°. The survey of the CMB over
    \U0001D54A2 is incomplete due to obfuscation effects by bright point sources and
    other extended foreground objects like our own galaxy. To deal with such situations,
    where analysis in the presence of “masks” is of importance, we introduce the concept
    of relative homology. The parametric χ2-test shows differences between observations
    and simulations, yielding p-values at percent to less than permil levels roughly
    between 2 and 7°, with the difference in the number of components and holes peaking
    at more than 3σ sporadically at these scales. The highest observed deviation between
    the observations and simulations for b0 and b1 is approximately between 3σ and
    4σ at scales of 3–7°. There are reports of mildly unusual behaviour of the Euler
    characteristic at 3.66° in the literature, computed from independent measurements
    of the CMB temperature fluctuations by Planck’s predecessor, the Wilkinson Microwave
    Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) satellite. The mildly anomalous behaviour of the Euler
    characteristic is phenomenologically related to the strongly anomalous behaviour
    of components and holes, or the zeroth and first Betti numbers, respectively.
    Further, since these topological descriptors show consistent anomalous behaviour
    over independent measurements of Planck and WMAP, instrumental and systematic
    errors may be an unlikely source. These are also the scales at which the observed
    maps exhibit low variance compared to the simulations, and approximately the range
    of scales at which the power spectrum exhibits a dip with respect to the theoretical
    model. Non-parametric tests show even stronger differences at almost all scales.
    Crucially, Gaussian simulations based on power-spectrum matching the characteristics
    of the observed dipped power spectrum are not able to resolve the anomaly. Understanding
    the origin of the anomalies in the CMB, whether cosmological in nature or arising
    due to late-time effects, is an extremely challenging task. Regardless, beyond
    the trivial possibility that this may still be a manifestation of an extreme Gaussian
    case, these observations, along with the super-horizon scales involved, may motivate
    the study of primordial non-Gaussianity. Alternative scenarios worth exploring
    may be models with non-trivial topology, including topological defect models."

  text: Smallest enclosing spheres of finite point sets are central to methods in
    topological data analysis. Focusing on Bregman divergences to measure dissimilarity,
    we prove bounds on the location of the center of a smallest enclosing sphere.
    These bounds depend on the range of radii for which Bregman balls are convex.

  text: We present an efficient algorithm to compute Euler characteristic curves of
    gray scale images of arbitrary dimension. In various applications the Euler characteristic
    curve is used as a descriptor of an image. Our algorithm is the first streaming
    algorithm for Euler characteristic curves. The usage of streaming removes the
    necessity to store the entire image in RAM. Experiments show that our implementation
    handles terabyte scale images on commodity hardware. Due to lock-free parallelism,
    it scales well with the number of processor cores. Additionally, we put the concept
    of the Euler characteristic curve in the wider context of computational topology.
    In particular, we explain the connection with persistence diagrams.

  text: Phat is an open-source C. ++ library for the computation of persistent homology
    by matrix reduction, targeted towards developers of software for topological data
    analysis. We aim for a simple generic design that decouples algorithms from data
    structures without sacrificing efficiency or user-friendliness. We provide numerous
    different reduction strategies as well as data types to store and manipulate the
    boundary matrix. We compare the different combinations through extensive experimental
    evaluation and identify optimization techniques that work well in practical situations.
    We also compare our software with various other publicly available libraries for
    persistent homology.

  text: 'We show that the framework of topological data analysis can be extended from
    metrics to general Bregman divergences, widening the scope of possible applications.
    Examples are the Kullback - Leibler divergence, which is commonly used for comparing
    text and images, and the Itakura - Saito divergence, popular for speech and sound.
    In particular, we prove that appropriately generalized čech and Delaunay (alpha)
    complexes capture the correct homotopy type, namely that of the corresponding
    union of Bregman balls. Consequently, their filtrations give the correct persistence
    diagram, namely the one generated by the uniformly growing Bregman balls. Moreover,
    we show that unlike the metric setting, the filtration of Vietoris-Rips complexes
    may fail to approximate the persistence diagram. We propose algorithms to compute
    the thus generalized čech, Vietoris-Rips and Delaunay complexes and experimentally
    test their efficiency. Lastly, we explain their surprisingly good performance
    by making a connection with discrete Morse theory. '
