This paper introduces parametrized homology, a continuous-parameter generalization
of levelset zigzag persistent homology that captures the behavior of the homology of
the fibers of a real-valued function on a topological space. This information is
encoded as a “barcode” of real intervals, each corresponding to a homological feature
supported over that interval; or, equivalently, as a persistence diagram. Points in the
persistence diagram are classified algebraically into four classes; geometrically, the
classes identify the distinct ways in which homological features perish at the
boundaries of their interval of persistence. We study the conditions under which
spaces fibered over the real line have a well-defined parametrized homology; we
establish the stability of these invariants and we show how the four classes of
persistence diagram correspond to the four diagrams that appear in the theory of
extended persistence.
