Simplicial approach to path homology of quivers, marked categories, groups and algebras

Abstract

AbstractWe develop a generalisation of the path homology theory introduced by Grigor'yan, Lin, Muranov and Yau (GLMY theory) in a general simplicial setting. The new theory includes as particular cases the GLMY theory for path complexes and new homology theories: path homology of categories with a chosen set of morphisms (marked categories) groups with a chosen subset (marked groups) and path Hochschild homology of algebras with chosen vector subspaces (marked algebras). Using our general machinery, we also introduce a new homology theory for quivers that we call square‐commutative homology of quivers and compare it with the theory developed by Grigor'yan, Muranov, Vershinin and Yau.
