Morse Theory , Floer Theory and Closed Geodesics of S
We construct Bott-type Floer homology groups for the sym-plectic manifold (T S 1 ; can) and Bott-type Morse homology groups for the energy functional on the loop space of S 1. Both objects turn out to be isomorpic to the singular homology of the loop space of S 1. So far our objects depend on all choices involved, but the above isomorphism suggests further investigation to show independence of ...
متن کاملEquivariant discrete Morse theory
In this paper, we study Forman's discrete Morse theory in the case where a group acts on the underlying complex. We generalize the notion of a Morse matching, and obtain a theory that can be used to simplify the description of the G-homotopy type of a simplicial complex. As an application, we determine the C2 × Sn−2-homotopy type of the complex of non-connected graphs on n nodes.
متن کاملK-theory of Morse geodesics
We develop the K-theory of a C∗–algebra Oλ which represents the leaf space of measured foliations studied by Novikov, Masur, Thurston and Veech. The K-theory construction is based on the coding of geodesic lines due to Koebe and Morse. This method allows to calculate the range of Elliott group (K0, K + 0 , [1]) of Oλ, to establish a condition of strict ergodicity of the interval exchange transf...
متن کاملEquivariant Morse Theory and Quantum Integrability
We investigate an equivariant generalization of Morse theory for a general class of integrable models. In particular, we derive equivariant versions of the classical Poincaré-Hopf and Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorems and present the corresponding path integral generalizations. Our approach is based on equivariant cohomology and localization techniques, and is closely related to the formalism develop...
متن کاملMorse Theory of Causal Geodesics in a Stationary Spacetime via Morse Theory of Geodesics of a Finsler Metric
We show that the index of a lightlike geodesic in a conformally standard stationary spacetime (M0 × R, g) is equal to the index of its spatial projection as a geodesic of a Finsler metric F on M0 associated to (M0×R, g). Moreover we obtain the Morse relations of lightlike geodesics connecting a point p to a curve γ(s) = (q0, s) by using Morse theory on the Finsler manifold (M0, F ). To this end...
