Circle-Valued Morse Theory and Reidemeister Torsion
We compute an invariant counting gradient flow lines (including closed orbits) in S-valued Morse theory, and relate it to Reidemeister torsion for manifolds with χ = 0, b1 > 0. Here we extend the results in [6] following a different approach. However, this paper is written in a self-contained manner and may be read independently of [6]. The motivation of this work is twofold: on the one hand, i...
متن کاملMorse-smale Characteristic in Circle-valued Morse Theory
In this paper we consider the φF category associated to the family of circle valued Morse functions defined on a closed manifold M . This number will be called the Morse-Smale characteristic of manifold M for circle-valued Morse functions and and it will be denoted by γs1(M). We present some basic notions and results concerning circle-valued Morse functions and we prove some properties for γs1(...
متن کامل2 00 3 All frame - spun knots are slice
Frame-spun knots are constructed by spinning a knot of lower dimension about a framed submanifold of S n. We show that all frame-spun knots are slice (null-cobordant).
متن کاملMurasugi Sums of Morse Maps to the Circle, Morse-novikov Numbers, and Free Genus of Knots
Murasugi sums can be defined as readily for Morse maps to S of (arbitrary) link complements in S as for fibrations over S of (fibered) link complements in S. As one application, I show that if a knot K has free genus m, then there is a Morse map S\K → S (representing the relative homology class of a Seifert surface for K) with no more than 4m critical points.
متن کاملFrom Morse-Smale to all Knots and Links
We analyse the topological (knot-theoretic) features of a certain codimension-one bifurcation of a partially hyperbolic xed point in a ow onR 3 originally described by Shil'nikov. By modifying how the invariant manifolds wrap around themselves, or \pleat," we may apply the theory of templates, or branched two-manifolds, to capture the topology of the ow. This analysis yields a class of ows whic...
