A compactness theorem in group invariant persistent homology

In this thesis we present a new result concerning the theory of group invariant persistent homology. This theory adapts persistent homology in the presence of the action on a space of functions Phi of a subgroup G of the group H of all self-homeomorphisms of a topological space X. Its model is based on a space of suitable operators defined on Phi. After describing the mathematical setting and recalling some basic results, we prove that the space of these operators is compact with respect to a suitable topology. In order to prove this result, we require that Phi, G, X are compact.
