Locality Sensitive Hashing in Hyperbolic Space

Authors: Chengyuan Deng, Jie Gao, Kevin Lu, Feng Luo, and Cheng Xin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 367, 42nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2026)

Abstract
For a metric space (X, d), a family ℋ of locality sensitive hash functions is called (r, cr, p₁, p₂) sensitive if a randomly chosen function h ∈ ℋ has probability at least p₁ (at most p₂) to map any a, b ∈ X in the same hash bucket if d(a, b) ≤ r (or d(a, b) ≥ cr). Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) is one of the most popular techniques for approximate nearest-neighbor search in high-dimensional spaces, and has been studied extensively for Hamming, Euclidean, and spherical geometries. An (r, cr, p₁, p₂)-sensitive hash function enables approximate nearest neighbor search (i.e., returning a point within distance cr from a query q if there exists a point within distance r from q) with space O(n^{1+ρ}) and query time O(n^ρ) where ρ = (log 1/p₁)/(log 1/p₂). But LSH for hyperbolic spaces ℍ^d remains largely unexplored. In this work, we present the first LSH construction native to hyperbolic space. For the hyperbolic plane (d = 2), we show a construction achieving ρ ≤ 1/c, based on the hyperplane rounding scheme. For general hyperbolic spaces (d ≥ 3), we use dimension reduction from ℍ^d to ℍ² and the 2D hyperbolic LSH to get ρ ≤ 1.59/c. On the lower bound side, we show that the lower bound on ρ of Euclidean LSH extends to the hyperbolic setting via local isometry, therefore giving ρ ≥ 1/c².

Super-Polynomial Growth of the Generalized Persistence Diagram

Authors: Donghan Kim, Woojin Kim, and Wonjun Lee

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 332, 41st International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2025)

Abstract
The Generalized Persistence Diagram (GPD) for multi-parameter persistence naturally extends the classical notion of persistence diagram for one-parameter persistence. However, unlike its classical counterpart, computing the GPD remains a significant challenge. The main hurdle is that, while the GPD is defined as the Möbius inversion of the Generalized Rank Invariant (GRI), computing the GRI is intractable due to the formidable size of its domain, i.e., the set of all connected and convex subsets in a finite grid in ℝ^d with d ≥ 2. This computational intractability suggests seeking alternative approaches to computing the GPD. In order to study the complexity associated to computing the GPD, it is useful to consider its classical one-parameter counterpart, where for a filtration of a simplicial complex with n simplices, its persistence diagram contains at most n points. This observation leads to the question: Given a d-parameter simplicial filtration, could the cardinality of its GPD (specifically, the support of the GPD) also be bounded by a polynomial in the number of simplices in the filtration? This is the case for d = 1, where we compute the persistence diagram directly at the simplicial filtration level. If this were also the case for d ≥ 2, it might be possible to compute the GPD directly and much more efficiently without relying on the GRI. We show that the answer to the question above is negative, demonstrating the inherent difficulty of computing the GPD. More specifically, we construct a sequence of d-parameter simplicial filtrations where the cardinalities of their GPDs are not bounded by any polynomial in the number of simplices. Furthermore, we show that several commonly used methods for constructing multi-parameter filtrations can give rise to such "wild" filtrations.

Tracking the Persistence of Harmonic Chains: Barcode and Stability

Authors: Tao Hou, Salman Parsa, and Bei Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 332, 41st International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2025)

Abstract
The persistence barcode is a topological descriptor of data that plays a fundamental role in topological data analysis. Given a filtration of data, the persistence barcode tracks the evolution of its homology groups. In this paper, we introduce a new type of barcode, called the harmonic chain barcode, which tracks the evolution of harmonic chains. In addition, we show that the harmonic chain barcode is stable. Given a filtration of a simplicial complex of size m, we present an algorithm to compute its harmonic chain barcode in O(m³) time. Consequently, the harmonic chain barcode can enrich the family of topological descriptors in applications where a persistence barcode is applicable, such as feature vectorization and machine learning.

A Generalization of the Persistent Laplacian to Simplicial Maps

Authors: Aziz Burak Gülen, Facundo Mémoli, Zhengchao Wan, and Yusu Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 258, 39th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2023)

Abstract
The (combinatorial) graph Laplacian is a fundamental object in the analysis of, and optimization on, graphs. Via a topological view, this operator can be extended to a simplicial complex K and therefore offers a way to perform "signal processing" on p-(co)chains of K. Recently, the concept of persistent Laplacian was proposed and studied for a pair of simplicial complexes K ↪ L connected by an inclusion relation, further broadening the use of Laplace-based operators. In this paper, we significantly expand the scope of the persistent Laplacian by generalizing it to a pair of weighted simplicial complexes connected by a weight preserving simplicial map f: K → L. Such a simplicial map setting arises frequently, e.g., when relating a coarsened simplicial representation with an original representation, or the case when the two simplicial complexes are spanned by different point sets, i.e. cases in which it does not hold that K ⊂ L. However, the simplicial map setting is much more challenging than the inclusion setting since the underlying algebraic structure is much more complicated. We present a natural generalization of the persistent Laplacian to the simplicial setting. To shed insight on the structure behind it, as well as to develop an algorithm to compute it, we exploit the relationship between the persistent Laplacian and the Schur complement of a matrix. A critical step is to view the Schur complement as a functorial way of restricting a self-adjoint positive semi-definite operator to a given subspace. As a consequence of this relation, we prove that the qth persistent Betti number of the simplicial map f: K → L equals the nullity of the qth persistent Laplacian Δ_q^{K,L}. We then propose an algorithm for finding the matrix representation of Δ_q^{K,L} which in turn yields a fundamentally different algorithm for computing the qth persistent Betti number of a simplicial map. Finally, we study the persistent Laplacian on simplicial towers under weight-preserving simplicial maps and establish monotonicity results for their eigenvalues.
