Functoriality and duality in Morse-Conley-Floer homology

چکیده
In [13] a homology theory –Morse-Conley-Floer homology– for isolated invariant sets of arbitrary flows on finite dimensional manifolds is developed. In this paper we investigate functoriality and duality of this homology theory. As a preliminary we investigate functoriality in Morse homology. Functoriality for Morse homology of closed manifolds is known [1, 2, 3, 8, 14], but the proofs use isomorphisms to other homology theories. We give direct proofs by analyzing appropriate moduli spaces. The notions of isolating map and flow map allows the results to generalize to local Morse homology and Morse-Conley-Floer homology. We prove Poincaré type duality statements for local Morse homology and Morse-Conley-Floer homology. AMS Subject Class: 37B30, 37C10, 58E05

Morse-Conley-Floer Homology
For Morse-Smale pairs on a smooth, closed manifold the MorseSmale-Witten chain complex can be defined. The associated Morse homology is isomorphic to the singular homology of the manifold and yields the classical Morse relations for Morse functions. A similar approach can be used to define homological invariants for isolated invariant sets of flows on a smooth manifold, which gives an analogue ...

Floer theory is one of the most active fields in mathematical physics. In this expository paper, we will discuss where this theory comes from and what it is as well as its relation with TQFT. §1 Foundation of Symplectic Geometry and Morse Homology Historically, Eliashberg, Conley-Zehnder, Gromov respectively proved the Arnold conjecture for Riemann surfaces, 2n-torus, the existence of at least ...
متن کاملLocal Floer Homology and the Action Gap
In this paper, we study the behavior of the local Floer homology of an isolated fixed point and the growth of the action gap under iterations. To be more specific, we prove that an isolated fixed point of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism remains isolated for a certain class of iterations (the so-called admissible iterations) and that the local Floer homology groups for all such iterations are isomo...
متن کاملSymplectic homology, autonomous Hamiltonians, and Morse-Bott moduli spaces
We define Floer homology for a time-independent, or autonomous Hamiltonian on a symplectic manifold with contact type boundary, under the assumption that its 1-periodic orbits are transversally nondegenerate. Our construction is based on Morse-Bott techniques for Floer trajectories. Our main motivation is to understand the relationship between linearized contact homology of a fillable contact m...
متن کاملFloer homology of families I
In principle, Floer theory can be extended to define homotopy invariants of families of equivalent objects (e.g. Hamiltonian isotopic symplectomorphisms, 3-manifolds, Legendrian knots, etc.) parametrized by a smooth manifold B. The invariant of a family consists of a spectral sequence whose E2 term is the homology of B with twisted coefficients in the Floer homology of the fibers. For any parti...
