The present paper contains an interpretation and generalization of Novikov's theory of Morse type inequalities for 1-forms in terms of Conley's theory for dynamical systems.
Incidence relations among the cells of a regular CW complex produce a poset-enriched category of entrance paths whose classifying space is homotopy-equivalent to that complex. We show here that each acyclic partial matching (in the sense of…
We investigate the collapsibility of systolic finite simplicial complexes of arbitrary dimension. The main tool we use in the proof is discrete Morse theory. We shall consider a convex subcomplex of the complex and project any simplex of…
Given two discrete Morse functions on a simplicial complex, we introduce the {\em connectedness homomorphism} between the corresponding discrete Morse complexes. This concept leads to a novel framework for studying the connectedness in…
In the paper, we introduce the notion of a local regular supermartingale relative to a convex set of equivalent measures and prove for it an optional Doob decomposition in the discrete case. This Theorem is a generalization of the famous…
We develop functoriality for Morse theory, namely, to a pair of Morse-Smale systems and a generic smooth map between the underlying manifolds we associate a chain map between the corresponding Morse complexes, which descends to the correct…
In this paper, we prove that discrete Morse functions on digraphs are flat Witten-Morse functions and Witten complexes of transitive digraphs approach to Morse complexes. We construct a chain complex consisting of the formal linear…
We develop a version of discrete Morse theory for finite regular CW complexes equipped with an auxiliary stratification. The key construction is the halo of a cell, which contains all those faces in the boundary that enter closed…

A theorem is established where the computation of the discrete Conley index for zero dimensional basic sets is given with respect to the dynamical information contained in the associated structure matrices. A classification of the reduced…
In this paper we develop Algebraic Morse Theory for the case where a group acts on a free chain complex. Algebraic Morse Theory is an adaption of Discrete Morse Theory to free chain complexes.
We establish a simple generalization for the famous theorem of Morley about trisectors in triangle with a purely synthetic proof using only angle chasing and similar triangles. Furthermore, based on the converse construction, another simple…
We introduce a notion of Morse shellings (and tilings) on finite simplicial complexes which extends the classical one and its relation to discrete Morse theory.Skeletons and barycentric subdivisions of Morse shellable (or tileable)…
We establish a theory of complexes of relative correspondences. The theory generalizes the known theory of complexes of correspondences of smooth projective varieties. It will be applied in the sequel of this paper to the construction of…
In this paper, we investigate vector fields on polyhedral complexes and their associated trajectories. We study vector fields which are analogue of the gradient vector field of a function in the smooth case. Our goal is to define a nice…
The combination of words ``discrete curvature'' is only an apparent contradiction. In this survey we describe curvature notions associated with polygons, polyhedral surfaces, and with abstract polyhedral manifolds. Several theorems about…
In this technical note we give a purely geometric understanding of discrete torsion, as an analogue of orbifold Wilson lines for two-form tensor field potentials. In order to introduce discrete torsion in this context, we describe gerbes…
We present a detailed description of a fundamental group algorithm based on Forman's combinatorial version of Morse theory. We use this algorithm in a classification problem of prime knots up to 14 crossings.
We present a theory and applications of discrete exterior calculus on simplicial complexes of arbitrary finite dimension. This can be thought of as calculus on a discrete space. Our theory includes not only discrete differential forms but…
We analyse D-branes on orbifolds with discrete torsion, extending earlier results. We analyze certain Abelian orbifolds of the type C^3/ \Gamma, where \Gamma is given by Z_m x Z_n, for the most general choice of discrete torsion parameter.…
