A Generalized Morse Theory

1. Abstract theory. Let M be a C-Riemannian manifold without boundary modeled on a separable Hubert space (see Lang [3]). For pÇzM we denote by ( , )p the inner product in the tangent space Mp and we define a function || || on the tangent bundle T(M) by ||z>|| = (v, v)J for vÇzMp. Given p and q in the same component of M we define p(p, q)==lnïfl\\<r'(t)\\dtt where the Inf is over all C 1 paths ...

Reidemeister torsion in generalized Morse theory

In two previous papers with Yi-Jen Lee, we defined and computed a notion of Reidemeister torsion for the Morse theory of closed 1-forms on a finite dimensional manifold. The present paper gives an a priori proof that this Morse theory invariant is a topological invariant. It is hoped that this will provide a model for possible generalizations to Floer theory. In two papers with Yi-Jen Lee [HL1,...

Linking and Morse Theory

A. In this paper we use Morse theory and the gradient flow of a Morse-Smale function to compute the linking number of a two-component link L in S 3 , by counting the signed number of gradient flow lines passing through each component of L. We will also use three Morse-Smale functions and their gradient flows, to compute Milnor's triple linking number of three-component links by counting ...

Generalized Morse wavelets

This paper examines the class of generalized Morse wavelets, which are eigenfunction wavelets suitable for use in time-varying spectrum estimation via averaging of time-scale eigenscalograms. Generalized Morse wavelets of order (the corresponding eigenvalue order) depend on a doublet of parameters ( , ); we extend results derived for the special case = = 1 and include a proof of “the resolution...

Supersymmetry and Morse Theory

It is shown that the Morse inequalities can be obtained by consideration of a certain supersymmetric quantum mechanics Hamiltonian. Some of the implications of modern ideas in mathematics for supersymmetric theories are discussed.
