12 The considers weakly tame and tame maps. Definition A weakly tame map is proper map defined on an ANR whose all levels are ANR s A tame map is a weakly tame map for which the homology of the levels is locally constant except for a discrete collection of values called critical values The invariants are derived from the change in the homology of the levels

13 Configuration C r (f ) for real valued weakly tame map Start with f : X R, Consider X a = f 1 (, a], X a = f 1 [a, ) and F f r (a, b) = (H r (X a ) H r (X)) (H r (X b ) H r (X)), Define F f r : R 2 Z 0 F f r (a, b) = dim F f r (a, b) Z 0

16 Configuration C r (f ) for angle valued map Start with f : X S 1 Consider f : X R, the infinite cyclic cover of f JT )r F f r : R 2 Z 0 δr F, f : R 2 Z 0

17 Observe δr F, f (a + 2π, b + 2π) = δr F, f (a, b) Define by and then define δ F,f r : C \ 0 Z 0 δr F,f (z = e (b a)+ia ) := δr F, f (a, b) C r (f ) = δ F,f r.

18 Results about configuration C r (f ), f real valued. Theorem 1 If f : X R then δ F,f r (a, b) = β r = dim H r (M) hence C r (f ) S βr (C) = C βr. 2 The assignment C wt (X, R) f C r (f ) C βr extends to a continuous map from C(X, R) to C βr 3 If X is a (κ-) orientable closed topological manifold then C r (f )(z) = C n r ( f )( z)

19 Results about configuration C r (f ), f angle valued. Theorem 1 If f : X S 1 with f representing ξ H 1 (X; Z) then δ F,f r (a, b) = β N r = dim H N r (M, ξ), hence C r (f ) S βn r (C \ 0) = C βn r 1 C \ 0 C βn r 2 The assignment C ξ wt (X, S1 ) f C r (f ) C βn r extends to a continuous map from C ξ (X, S 1 ) to C βn r 3 If X is a (κ-) orientable closed topological manifold then C r (f )(z) = C n r (f )(z 1 )

20 Theorem For an open and dense set of real or angle valued maps (w.r. to compact open topology) δ F,f r (a, b) = 0 or 1.

21 Linear relations. κ a fixed field. A linear relation R : V 1 V 2 is provided by the collection {V 1, V 2, V V 1 V 2 }; one writes v 1 Rv 2 for (v 1, v 2 ) V Composition of relations : R : V 1 V 2, R : V 2 V 3 R R : V 1 V 3, v 1 (R R )v 3 { v 2 V 2 v 1 R v 2, v 2 R v 3 }. Transpose of relation: R : V 1 V 2 R : V 2 V 1 v 2 R v 1 v 1 Rv 2.

22 α : V 1 V 2 linear map defines R(α) : V 1 V 2 v 1 R(α)v 2 {v 2 = α(v 1 )} V α β 1 W V 2 α, β linear maps define R(α, β) : V 1 V 2 v 1 R(α, β)v 2 {α(v 1 ) = β(v 2 )}. To α : V V linear one assign α reg : V reg = a linear isomorphism. V n ker α n V n ker α n = V reg

23 Similarly to R : V V one can assign T reg (R) : V reg V reg linear isomorphism. R reg := R(T reg (R)) Theorem If R : V 1 V 2 and R : V 2 V 1 then T reg (R R ) and T reg (R R ) are similar (conjugate) linear isomorphisms.

24 the r monodromy of an angle valued map Start with f : X S 1 Consider the infinite cyclic cover f and choose t R and θ S 1 with p(t) = θ X f R t (1) X π f p S 1 θ Consider i t+2π 1 X θ = X t i t Xt,t+2π Xt+2π = X θ 1 Xt = f 1 (t), X t,t = f 1 [t, t ], t t

25 Lt** Consider H r (X θ ) = H r ( X t ) i t (r) which defines the linear relation H r ( X i t+2π (r) [t,t+2π] ) H r ( X t+2π ) = H r (X θ ) R f θ (r) := R(i t(r), i t+2π (r))

26 Theorem 1 (R f θ 1 (r)) reg = (R f θ 2 (r)) reg = (V r (f ), T r (f ) : V r (f ) V r (f )). 2 If f, g : X S 1 are homotopic then (V r (f ), T r (f )) similar to (V r (g), T r (g)). 3 (V r (f ), T r (f )) = (ker(h r ( X) H r ( X) κ[t 1,t] κ[t 1, t]]), τ r ) τ r induced by the deck transformation τ. The pair (V r (f ), T r (f )) is the r monodromy The Jordan cells J r (f ) are the "Jordan components" of T r (f ).

27 D f r (z) the characteristic polynomial of T r (f ) The Alexander function of (X, ξ f ) is A(X, ξ f ) = r=0, dim X D f r (z) ( 1)r If ϕ : Y Y and f : V I ϕ S 1 then A(X, ξ f ) is the Lefschetz zeta function. If K S 3 a knot, N = open disc neighborhood of K, X = S 3 \ K and ξ H 1 (X : Z) the Alexander dual of K in S 3 then z/a(x; ξ)(z) = Alexander polynomial of the knot.

28 Configuration c r (f ) for f real valued. Start with f : X R Consider X a = f 1 (, a], X a = f 1 [a, ) Define and T f r (a, b) = { ker H r (X a ) H r (X b ) if a < b ker H r (X a ) H r (X b ) if a > b T f r : R 2 \ Z 0 T f r (a, b) := dim T f r (a, b).

29 For a < b < c < d and B = (a, b] (c, d] or for c < d < a < b and B = [a, b) [c, d) define µ T,f (B) := T f r (a, c) + T f r (b, d) T f r (a, d) T f r (b, c) 0 d y c d y c a x b a x b

30 Derive the "jump" function δ T,f r : R 2 \ Z 0 δ T,f r (x, y) = lim B (x,y) µ(b) Define the configuration of points in R 2 \ c r (f ) := δ T,f r.

33 Results about configurations c r (f ) Theorem 1 (C-E-H) The assignment C t (X, R) f c r (f ) C(R 2 ) is continuous. 2 If X is an orientable closed topological n manifold then c r (f )(z) = c n 1 r ( f )( z) (z = a + ib). Theorem 1 The assignment C ξ t (X, S1 ) f c r (f ) C(C \ 0 S 1 ) is continuous. 2 If X is an orientable closed topological n manifold then c r (f )(z) = c n 1 r (f )( z).

34 Figure 2: Example of r-invariants for a circle va Alternative description of bar codes and Jordan cells 4 Representation theory and r-invariants The invariants for the circle valued map are derived from the representat are directed graphs. The representation theory of simple quivers such described by Gabriel [8] and is at the heart of the derivation of the in persistence in [4]. For circle valued maps, one needs representation the edges. This theory appears in the work of Nazarova [14], and Donovan a One consider the oriented infinite graph Z and the finite oriented graph G 2m. b a i 1 i v 2i 1 can find b i a refined treatment in Kac [15]. v 2i v 2i+1 v 2i+2 v 2i+3 Let G 2m be a directed graph with 2m vertices, x 1, x 1, x 2m. Its simple cycle. The The graph directed Z edges in G 2m are of two types: forward a i backward b i : x 2i+1 x 2i, 1 i m 1, b m : x 1 x 2m. x 4 b 2 x 2m 2 a 2 x 3 x 2m 1 b 1 a m x 2 a1 x 1 b m x 2m able representations The graph unique G 2m up to isomorphisms. We think of this graph as be tered at the origin o in the plane. A representation ρ on G 2m V x to each vertex x and a linear m edge e = {x, y}. Two representa each vertex x there exists an isom of ρ to the vector space V x of ρ, the linear maps V x V y and V tion assigns at least one vector sp A representation is indecompos sum of two nontrivial representa each representation has a decom

35 An oriented graph representation ρ, associates to a vertex v i a vector space V i and to an oriented arrow a linear map between the corresponding vector spaces. To f tame one associates ρ r (f ): a Z representation for f real valued map a G 2m representation for f angle valued map defined as follows:

36 ρ r (f ) for f real valued. Let s 0 < s 1 < s 2 < s 3 s N 1 < s N be all critical values of f, s 0 = inf f, s N = sup f. Choose regular values t 0, t 1, t N, s i 1 < t i < s i. Define 1 V 2i = H r (X si ), V 2i 1 = H r (X ti ) 2 α i : V 2i 1 V 2i, β i : V 2i+1 V 2i induced in homology by the maps derived from the tameness of f. ρ r (f ) for f angle valued. Let 0 θ 1 < θ 2 θ m 1 < θ m < 2π be all critical angles. Choose regular angles t 0, t 1, t N, θ i < t i+1 < θ i+1, t 2m < 2π. Define 1 V 2i = H r (X si ), V 2i 1 = H r (X ti ) 2 α i : V 2i 1 V 2i, β i : V 2i+1 V 2i induced in homology by the maps derived from the tameness of f.

37 The r bar codes and the r Jordan cells are provided by the indecomposable components of ρ r (f ).
