Abstract

For a Morse map f:MS1f:M\to S^1 Novikov [11] has introduced an analog of Morse complex, defined over the ring \ZZZ[[t]][t1]\ZZZ[[t]][t^{-1}] of integer Laurent power series. Novikov conjectured, that generically the matrix entries of the differentials in this complex are of the form iaiti\sum_ia_it^i, where aia_i grow at most exponentially in ii. We prove that for any given ff for a C0C^0 generic gradient-like vector field all the incidence coefficients above are rational functions in tt (which implies obviously the exponential growth rate estimate).
