This week I’ll have to go with Philip’s presentation on Persistent Homology via Quivers. In addition to what Sazdanovic has gone over I read about persistent homology a bit for my project. Using Dynkin quiver representation to find barcodes rather than first using Vietoris-Rips complexes is pretty radical. It also uses crazy math like representation theory/category theory. While I know very little about either topic it is exciting hearing how it relates to stuff I know about like persistent homology.

I thought Philipp’s presentation was interesting as well. His topic describes a cool connection between persistence homologies discussed in class and representations on quivers through barcodes. I am curious to see how this is used in data analysis.
