We extend discrete Morse-Bott theory to the setting of loop-free (or acyclic) categories. First of all, we state a homological version of Quillen's Theorem A in this context and introduce the notion of cellular categories. Second, we…
We obtain a series of results in the global theory of free boundary minimal surfaces, which in particular provide a rather complete picture for the way different complexity criteria, such as area, topology and Morse index compare, beyond…
This is the first paper in a series that studies smooth relative Lie algebra homologies and cohomologies based on the theory of formal manifolds and formal Lie groups. In this paper, we lay the foundations for this study by introducing the…
We show that the classifying space of the flow category of a \emph{tame} Morse function on a smooth, closed manifold $M$ recovers the homotopy type of $M$, thereby addressing a claim in a preprint of Cohen--Jones--Segal. The tameness…
We prove the Morse relations for the set of all geodesics connecting two non-conjugate points on a class of globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds. We overcome the difficulties coming from the fact that the Morse index of every geodesic…
In this paper, we develop a method to compute the Morse homology of a manifold when descending manifolds and ascending manifolds intersect cleanly, but not necessarily transversely. While obstruction bundle gluing defined by Hutchings and…
We use certain Morse functions to construct conformal metrics with negative sectional curvature on locally conformally flat manifolds with boundary. Moreover, without conformally flatness assumption, we also construct conformal metric of…
We develop the relative Morse index theory for linear self-adjoint operator equation without compactness assumption and give the relationship between the index defined in [44] and [45]. Then we generalize the method of saddle point…
Suppose one has found a non-empty sub-category $\mathcal{A}$ of the Fukaya category of a compact Calabi-Yau manifold $X$ which is homologically smooth in the sense of non-commutative geometry, a condition intrinsic to $\mathcal{A}$. Then,…
In various situations in Floer theory, one extracts homological invariants from "Morse-Bott" data in which the "critical set" is a union of manifolds, and the moduli spaces of "flow lines" have evaluation maps taking values in the critical…
We consider closed symplectically aspherical manifolds, i.e. closed symplectic manifolds $(M,\omega)$ satisfying the condition $[\omega]|_{\pi_2M}=0$. Rudyak and Oprea [RO] remarked that such manifolds have nice and controllable homotopy…
A typical large complex-structure limit for mirror symmetry consists of toric varieties glued to each other along their toric boundaries. Here we construct the mirror large volume limit space as a Weinstein symplectic manifold. We prove…
Here we carefully construct an equivalence between the derived category of coherent sheaves on an elliptic curve and a version of the Fukaya category on its mirror. This is the most accessible case of homological mirror symmetry. We also…
We introduce bounded cohomology for (pairs of) groupoids and develop homological algebra to deal with it. We generalise results of Ivanov, Frigerio and Pagliantini to this setting and show that (under topological conditions) the bounded…
In this paper, we construct cochain complexes generated by the cohomology of critical manifolds in the abstract setup of flow categories for Morse-Bott theories under minimum transversality assumptions. We discuss the relations between…
Mirror symmetry for a toric variety involves Laurent polynomials whose symplectic topology is related to the algebraic geometry of the toric variety. We show that there is a monodromy action on the monomially admissible Fukaya-Seidel…
Given a collection of exact Lagrangians in a Liouville manifold, we construct a map from the Hochschild homology of the Fukaya category that they generate to symplectic cohomology. Whenever the identity in symplectic cohomology lies in the…
Fast and efficient homology algorithms are in demand in the applied sciences for analyzing solid materials and proteins, processing digital imaging data, or pattern classification among others. Recent advances employ discrete Morse theory…
We investigate relative holomorphic connections on a principal bundle over a family of compact complex manifolds. A sufficient condition is given for the existence of a relative holomorphic connection on a holomorphic principal bundle over…
Graph manifolds form important classes of $3$-dimensional closed and orientable manifolds. For example, {\it Seifert} manifolds are graph manifolds where hyperbolic manifolds are not. In applying singularity theory of differentiable maps to…
