Building Efficient and Compact Data Structures for Simplicial Complexes
The Simplex Tree (ST) is a recently introduced data structure that can
represent abstract simplicial complexes of any dimension and allows efficient
implementation of a large range of basic operations on simplicial complexes. In
this paper, we show how to optimally compress the Simplex Tree while retaining
its functionalities. In addition, we propose two new data structures called the
Maximal Simplex Tree (MxST) and the Simplex Array List (SAL). We analyze the
compressed Simplex Tree, the Maximal Simplex Tree, and the Simplex Array List
under various settings.Comment: An extended abstract appeared in the proceedings of SoCG 201
Group field theories for all loop quantum gravity
Group field theories represent a 2nd quantized reformulation of the loop
quantum gravity state space and a completion of the spin foam formalism. States
of the canonical theory, in the traditional continuum setting, have support on
graphs of arbitrary valence. On the other hand, group field theories have
usually been defined in a simplicial context, thus dealing with a restricted
set of graphs. In this paper, we generalize the combinatorics of group field
theories to cover all the loop quantum gravity state space. As an explicit
example, we describe the GFT formulation of the KKL spin foam model, as well as
a particular modified version. We show that the use of tensor model tools
allows for the most effective construction. In order to clarify the
mathematical basis of our construction and of the formalisms with which we
deal, we also give an exhaustive description of the combinatorial structures
entering spin foam models and group field theories, both at the level of the
boundary states and of the quantum amplitudes.Comment: version published in New Journal of Physic
Simplicial Homology for Future Cellular Networks
Simplicial homology is a tool that provides a mathematical way to compute the
connectivity and the coverage of a cellular network without any node location
information. In this article, we use simplicial homology in order to not only
compute the topology of a cellular network, but also to discover the clusters
of nodes still with no location information. We propose three algorithms for
the management of future cellular networks. The first one is a frequency
auto-planning algorithm for the self-configuration of future cellular networks.
It aims at minimizing the number of planned frequencies while maximizing the
usage of each one. Then, our energy conservation algorithm falls into the
self-optimization feature of future cellular networks. It optimizes the energy
consumption of the cellular network during off-peak hours while taking into
account both coverage and user traffic. Finally, we present and discuss the
performance of a disaster recovery algorithm using determinantal point
processes to patch coverage holes
Computing the -coverage of a wireless network
Coverage is one of the main quality of service of a wirelessnetwork.
-coverage, that is to be covered simultaneously by network nodes, is
synonym of reliability and numerous applicationssuch as multiple site MIMO
features, or handovers. We introduce here anew algorithm for computing the
-coverage of a wirelessnetwork. Our method is based on the observation that
-coverage canbe interpreted as layers of -coverage, or simply
coverage. Weuse simplicial homology to compute the network's topology and
areduction algorithm to indentify the layers of -coverage. Weprovide figures
and simulation results to illustrate our algorithm.Comment: Valuetools 2019, Mar 2019, Palma de Mallorca, Spain. 2019. arXiv

On Topological Minors in Random Simplicial Complexes
For random graphs, the containment problem considers the probability that a
binomial random graph contains a given graph as a substructure. When
asking for the graph as a topological minor, i.e., for a copy of a subdivision
of the given graph, it is well-known that the (sharp) threshold is at .
We consider a natural analogue of this question for higher-dimensional random
complexes , first studied by Cohen, Costa, Farber and Kappeler for
.
Improving previous results, we show that is the
(coarse) threshold for containing a subdivision of any fixed complete
-complex. For higher dimensions , we get that is an
upper bound for the threshold probability of containing a subdivision of a
fixed -dimensional complex.Comment: 15 page
