Popis: In order to better understand and to compare interleavings between persistence modules, we elaborate on the algebraic structure of interleavings in general settings. In particular, we provide a representation-theoretic framework for interleavings, showing that the category of interleavings under a fixed translation is isomorphic to the representation category of what we call a shoelace. Using our framework, we show that any two interleavings of the same pair of persistence modules are themselves interleaved. Furthermore, in the special case of persistence modules over $\mathbb{Z}$, we show that matchings between barcodes correspond to the interval-decomposable interleavings.
