Algebraic topology studies topological spaces with the help of tools from abstract algebra. The main focus of this paper is to show that many concepts from algebraic topology can be conveniently expressed in terms of (normal) factor graphs. As an application, we give an alternative proof of a classical duality result of Kramers and Wannier, which expresses the partition function of the two-dimensional Ising model at a low temperature in terms of the partition function of the two-dimensional Ising model at a high temperature. Moreover, we discuss analogous results for the three-dimensional Ising model and the Potts model.
Network graphs have become a popular tool to represent complex systems composed of many interacting subunits; especially in neuroscience, network graphs are increasingly used to represent and analyze functional interactions between neural sources. In
This paper presents a novel successive factor-graph permutation (SFP) scheme that significantly improves the error-correction performance of Reed-Muller (RM) codes under successive-cancellation list (SCL) decoding. In particular, we perform maximum-l
This paper takes a rate-distortion approach to understanding the information-theoretic laws governing cache-aided communications systems. Specifically, we characterise the optimal tradeoffs between the delivery rate, cache capacity and reconstruction
A new method to measure nonlinear dependence between two variables is described using mutual information to analyze the separate linear and nonlinear components of dependence. This technique, which gives an exact value for the proportion of linear de
An oriented hypergraph is a hypergraph where each vertex-edge incidence is given a label of $+1$ or $-1$. We define the adjacency, incidence and Laplacian matrices of an oriented hypergraph and study each of them. We extend several matrix results kno
