Morse theory relates algebraic topology invariants and the dynamics of the gradient flow of a Morse function, allowing to derive information about one out of the other. In the case of the homology, the construction extends to much more…

Given a smooth closed manifold M, the Morse-Witten complex associated to a Morse function f and a Riemannian metric g on M consists of chain groups generated by the critical points of f and a boundary operator counting isolated flow lines…

The one-body reduced density matrix $\gamma$ plays a fundamental role in describing and predicting quantum features of bosonic systems, such as Bose-Einstein condensation. The recently proposed reduced density matrix functional theory for…

We study in detail the one-variable local theory of functions holomorphic over a finite-dimensional commutative associative unital $\mathbb{C}$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$, showing that it shares a multitude of features with the classical…

Let (M,J) be an almost complex manifold. We show that the infinite-dimensional space Tau of totally real submanifolds in M carries a natural connection. This induces a canonical notion of geodesics in Tau and a corresponding definition of…

We discuss some applications of the Morse-Novikov theory to some problems in modern physics, where appears a non-exact closed 1-form $\omega$ (a multi-valued functional). We focus mainly our attention to the cohomology of the de Rham…

Let $K$ be the fraction field of a two-dimensional henselian, excellent, equi-characteristic local domain. We prove a local-global principle for Galois cohomology with finite coefficients over $K$. We use classical machinery from \'etale…

Recently, the first author of this paper, used the structure of finite dimensional translation invariant subspaces of C(R,C) to give a new proof of classical Montel's theorem, about continuous solutions of Fr\'{e}chet's functional equation…

Given a compact smooth manifold $M$ with non-empty boundary and a Morse function, a pseudo-gradient Morse-Smale vector field adapted to the boundary allows one to build a Morse complex whose homology is isomorphic to the (absolute or…

Let $\gamma$ be a non-degenerate Ustilovsky geodesic in $Ham (M, \omega)$ generated by $H$. We give a simple proof of a generalization of the conjecture stated in \cite{virtmorse}, relating the Morse index of $ \gamma$, as a critical point…

We relate the topology of the Morse boundary of a group to geometric and algorithmic properties of the group. In particular, we show that a group has $\sigma$-compact Morse boundary if and only if it is Morse local-to-global. We also…

In this note, as a particular case of a more general result, we obtain the following theorem: Let $\Omega\subseteq {\bf R}^n$ be a non-empty bounded open set and let $f:\overline {\Omega}\to {\bf R}^n$ be a continuous function which is…

Given two Morse functions $f, \mu$ on a compact manifold $M$, we study the Morse homology for the Lagrange multiplier function on $M \times {\mathbb R}$ which sends $(x, \eta)$ to $f(x) + \eta \mu(x)$. Take a product metric on $M \times…

We construct Hamiltonian Floer complexes associated to continuous, and even lower semi-continuous, time dependent exhaustion functions on geometrically bounded symplectic manifolds. We further construct functorial continuation maps…

For a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^m, m\geq 2,$ of class $C^0$, the properties are studied of fields of `good directions', that is the directions with respect to which $\partial\Omega$ can be locally represented as the graph of a…

We construct an embedding $\Phi$ of $[0,1]^{\infty}$ into $Ham(M, \omega)$, the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a suitable closed symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$. We then prove that $\Phi$ is in fact a quasi-isometry. After…

Canonical quantization of abelian BF-type topological field theory coupled to extended sources on generic d-dimensional manifolds and with curved line bundles is studied. Sheaf cohomology is used to construct the appropriate topological…

Recently H.-L. Chang and J. Li generalized the theory of virtual fundamental class to the setting of semi-perfect obstruction theory. A semi-perfect obstruction theory requires only the local existence of a perfect obstruction theory with…

We provide geometric quantization of a completely integrable Hamiltonian system in the action-angle variables around an invariant torus with respect to polarization spanned by almost-Hamiltonian vector fields of angle variables. The…
