Isometry Theorem for Continuous Quiver of Type $\tilde{A}$
Xiaowen Gao, Minghui Zhao
TL;DR
This work proves an Isometry Theorem for continuous quivers of type $\tilde{A}$ by leveraging an equivalence with a type $A$ quiver endowed with a $\mathbb{Z}$-action. Building on the Hanson–Rock decomposition for $\tilde{A}_{\mathbb{R}}$ and the existing Isometry Theorem for ${A}_{\mathbb{R}}$, the authors translate interleaving distances to a bottleneck metric on persistence diagrams in the quotient plane $\mathbb{R}^2/\sim$. The main result asserts $d_{b,\mathbb{R}^2/\sim}(dgm(\mathbf{V}),dgm(\mathbf{W})) = d_{i,\tilde{A}_{\mathbb{R}}}(\mathbf{V},\mathbf{W})$ for pointwise finite-dimensional nilpotent representations $\mathbf{V},\mathbf{W}$, obtained via an equivalence with a quiver with automorphism $\mathbf{Q}$. This extends stability guarantees of persistence diagrams to periodic/quasi-periodic continuous quivers, enabling robust analysis in settings with discrete translational symmetry.
Abstract
The Isometry Theorem for continuous quiver of type $A$ plays an important role in persistent homology. In this paper, we shall generalize Isometry Theorem to continuous quiver of type $\tilde{A}$.
