Abstract
This talk will be about quasiperiodic recurrence in time series data; i.e., the superposition of periodic oscillators with non-commensurate frequencies. The sliding window (or time delay) embeddings of such functions can be shown to be dense in high-dimensional tori, and we will discuss techniques to study the persistent homology of such sets. Along the way, we will present a recent Kunneth theorem for persistent homology, as well as several applications.
