Abstract

We consider actions of a tileable amenable group Γ\Gamma on a topological space XX. For a continuous function on XX, we define the entropy of the number of homologically detectable critical point of the average of that function over Γ\Gamma. This number is bounded below by the sum of the Betti number entropy. This result is thus a generalization of a standard Morse inequality in differential geometry to this setting.
