One Parameter Fixed Point Theory and Gradient Flows of Closed 1-forms
نویسنده
چکیده
We use the one-parameter fixed point theory of Geoghegan and Nicas to get information about the closed orbit structure of transverse gradient flows of closed 1-forms on a closed manifold M . We define a noncommutative zeta function in an object related to the first Hochschild homology group of the Novikov ring associated to the 1-form and relate it to the torsion of a natural chain homotopy equivalence between the Novikov complex and a completed simplicial complex of M̃ , the universal cover of M .

This article surveys recent progress of results in topology and dynamics based on techniques of closed one-forms. Our approach allows us to draw conclusions about properties of flows by studying ho-motopical and cohomological features of manifolds. More specifically we describe a Lusternik-Schnirelmann type theory for closed one-forms, the focusing effect for flows and the theory of Lyapunov on...

متن کاملFinite volume flows and Morse theory
In this paper we present a new approach to Morse theory based on the de Rham-Federer theory of currents. The full classical theory is derived in a transparent way. The methods carry over uniformly to the equivariant and the holomorphic settings. Moreover, the methods are substantially stronger than the classical ones and have interesting applications to geometry. They lead, for example, to form...
متن کاملNovikov - Morse Theory for Dynamical Systems HuiJun
The present paper contains an interpretation and generalization of Novikov’s theory for Morse type inequalities for closed 1-forms in terms of concepts from Conley’s theory for dynamical systems. We introduce the concept of a flow carrying a cocycle α, (generalized) α-flow for short, where α is a cocycle in bounded Alexander-Spanier cohomology theory. Gradient-like flows can then be characteriz...
