چکیده
Let M be a compact oriented simply-connected manifold of dimension at least 8. Assume M is equipped with a torsion-free semi-free circle action with isolated fixed points. We prove M has a perfect invariant Morse-Smale function. The major ingredient in the proof is a new cancellation theorem for the invariant Morse theory.

Existence of Perfect Morse Functions on Equivariantly Formal Spaces with Semi-free Circle Actions
Assume M is a compact oriented manifold of dimension at least 8. Moreover, let M be equipped with an equivariantly formal semi-free circle action, which has finite, nonempty fixed point set. We prove M has a perfect invariant MorseSmale function. The major ingredient in the proof is a new cancellation theorem for the invariant Morse theory.
متن کاملSemi-free Hamiltonian Circle Actions on 6 Dimensional Symplectic Manifolds
Assume (M,ω) is a connected, compact 6 dimensional symplectic manifold equipped with a semi-free Hamiltonian circle action, such that the fixed point set consists of isolated points or compact orientable surfaces. We restrict attention to the case dim H(M) < 3. We give a complete list of the possible manifolds, determine their equivariant cohomology ring and equivariant Chern classes. Some of t...
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 کاملSemi-Infinite de Rham Theory
I shall start by explaining just what “semi-infinite” means and how it gives rise to interesting structures in geometry. These structures are studied as part of String Theory and are closely related to Floer Theory. Manifolds which carry a “semi-infinite” structure include loop spaces (C∞(S1, M) for M a closed manifold) and the theory seems to have particular simplicities when the original mani...
متن کاملπ1 of Hamiltonian S 1 manifolds
Let (M,ω) be a connected, compact symplectic manifold equipped with a Hamiltonian S action. We prove that, as fundamental groups of topological spaces, π1(M) = π1(minimum) = π1(maximum) = π1(Mred), where Mred is the symplectic quotient at any value in the image of the moment map φ. Let (M,ω) be a connected, compact symplectic manifold equipped with a circle action. If the action is Hamiltonian,...
