Discrete Morse theory for the barycentric subdivision

Algebraic Topology 2016-05-17 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

Let FF be a discrete Morse function on a simplicial complex LL. We construct a discrete Morse function Δ(F)\Delta(F) on the barycentric subdivision Δ(L)\Delta(L). The constructed function Δ(F)\Delta(F) "behaves the same way" as FF, i. e. has the same number of critical simplexes and the same gradient path structure.
