Combinatorial Persistent Homology Transform [PDF]
Foundations of Data Science, 2024, 2022 The combinatorial interpretation of the persistence diagram as a M\"obius inversion was recently shown to be functorial. We employ this discovery to recast the Persistent Homology Transform of a geometric complex as a representation of a cellulation on $\mathbb{S}^n$ to the category of combinatorial persistence diagrams. Detailed examples are provided.
