We introduce here a framework to construct coordinates in finite Lens spaces for data with nontrivial 1-dimensional ℤq persistent cohomology, q≥ 3. Said coordinates are defined on an open neighborhood of the data, yet constructed with only a small subset of landmarks. We also introduce a dimensionality reduction scheme in S2n-1/ℤq (Lens-PCA: LPCA), and demonstrate the efficacy of the pipeline PH1( ⋅ ; ℤq) class ⇒ S2n-1/ℤq coordinates ⇒ LPCA, for nonlinear (topological) dimensionality reduction.
