##### Abstract
We present a new algorithm for computing zigzag persistent homology, an algebraic structure which encodes changes to homology groups of a simplicial complex over a sequence of simplex additions and deletions. Provided that there is an algorithm that multiplies two $n \times n$ matrices in $M(n)$ time, our algorithm runs in $O(M(n) + n^2 \log^2 n)$ time for a sequence of $n$ additions and deletions. In particular, the running time is $O(n^{2.376})$, by result of Coppersmith and Winograd. The fastest previously known algorithm for this problem takes $O(n^3)$ time in the worst case.
