The special issue

Applied Algebraic Topology is an exciting and rapidly growing area at the forefront of modern scientific research. It uses and develops ideas and techniques from Algebraic Topology to positively address an exceptionally wide range of problems arising in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, biology, and computing.

The objective of this special issue is to showcase the power and breadth of applied algebraic topology. Topics addressed include, but are not limited to:

• Topological data analysis

• Persistent homology and multiparameter persistence

• Persistent Laplacian and Dirac

• Topological robotics

• Stochastic topology

• Path homology, digraph, hypergraphs, and hyperdigraphs

• Combinatorial topology

• Topological methods in mathematical physics

• Topological aspects of machine learning and topological deep learning

• Topological methods in neuroscience

• Biomolecular topology

• Topological approaches to graph theory and networks

• Algebraic topology in distributed computing

Target Dates

• Manuscript submission: December 2024

• Publication Date: March 2025
