contents Persistence diagrams are objects that play a central role in topological data analysis. In the present article, we investigate the local and global geometric properties of spaces of persistence diagrams. In order to do this, we construct a family of functors $\mathcal{D}_p$, $1\leq p \leq\infty$, that assign, to each metric pair $(X,A)$, a pointed metric space $\mathcal{D}_p(X,A)$. Moreover, we show that $\mathcal{D}_{\infty}$ is sequentially continuous with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of metric pairs, and we prove that $\mathcal{D}_p$ preserves several useful metric properties, such as completeness and separability, for $p \in [1,\infty)$, and geodesicity and non-negative curvature in the sense of Alexandrov, for $p=2$. For the latter case, we describe the metric of the space of directions at the empty diagram. We also show that the Fréchet mean set of a Borel probability measure on $\mathcal{D}_p(X,A)$, $1\leq p \leq\infty$, with finite second moment and compact support is non-empty. As an application of our geometric framework, we prove that the space of Euclidean persistence diagrams, $\mathcal{D}_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{2n},Δ_n)$, $1\leq n$ and $1\leq p<\infty$, has infinite covering, Hausdorff, asymptotic, Assouad, and Assouad-Nagata dimensions.

Persistence diagrams are objects that play a central role in topological data analysis. In the present article, we investigate the local and global geometric properties of spaces of persistence diagrams. In order to do this, we construct a family of functors $\mathcal{D}_p$, $1\leq p \leq\infty$, that assign, to each metric pair $(X,A)$, a pointed metric space $\mathcal{D}_p(X,A)$.
