We extend the configurations discussed in Burghelea's book and Burghelea-Haller's paper on topology of angle-valued maps, equivalently the closed, open and closed-open bar codes from real- or angle-valued maps, to topological closed one…
This paper is a continuation of Alternative to Morse-Novikov Theory for a closed 1-form(I), and establishes: a) a refinement of Poincar\'e duality to an equality between the configurations $^{BM} \delta^\omega$ and $\delta^\omega$ resp.…
For a continuous angle-valued map defined on a compact ANR, a fixed field and any degree one proposes a refinement of the Novikov-Betti number and of the Novikov homology of the pair consisting of the ANR and the degree one integral…
This paper but section 6 is essentially my lecture at The Eighth Congress of Romanian Mathematicians, June 26 - July 1, 2015, Iasi, Romania. The paper summarizes the definitions and the properties of the invariants associated to a real or…
In this paper we construct a Universal chain complex, counting zeros of closed 1-forms on a manifold. The Universal complex is a refinement of the well known Novikov complex; it relates the homotopy type of the manifold, after a suitable…
We consider systems $(M,\omega,g)$ with $M$ a closed smooth manifold, $\omega$ a real valued closed one form and $g$ a Riemannian metric, so that $(\omega,g)$ is a Morse-Smale pair, Definition~2. We introduce a numerical invariant…
S.P.Novikov developed an analog of the Morse theory for closed 1-forms. In this paper I suggest an analog of the Lusternik - Schnirelman theory for closed 1-forms.
(lecture delivered at the Congress of the Romanian mathematicians, Brasov, June 2011) Using graph representations a new class of computable topological invariants associated with a tame real or angle valued map were recently introduced,…
We present a new approach to Morse and Novikov theories, based on the deRham Federer theory of currents, using the finite volume flow technique of Harvey and Lawson. In the Morse case, we construct a noncompact analogue of the Morse…
In this paper one presents a collection of results about the "bar codes" and "Jordan blocks" introduced by Burghelea-Day as "computer friendly" invariants of a tame angle-valued map and one relates these invariants to the Betti numbers,…
The paper suggests new topological lower bounds for the number of zeros of closed 1-forms within a given cohomology class. The main new technical tool is the deformation complex, which allows to pass to a singular limit and reduce the…
We consider the problem of whether it is possible to improve the Novikov inequalities for closed 1-forms, or any other inequalities of a similar nature, if we assume, additionally, that the given 1-form is harmonic with respect to some…
Given a $1$-cohomology class $u$ on a closed manifold $M$, we define a Novikov fundamental group associated to $u$, generalizing the usual fundamental group in the same spirit as Novikov homology generalizes Morse homology to the case of…
We extend the Novikov Morse-type inequalities for closed 1-forms in 2 directions. First, we consider manifolds with boundary. Second, we allow a very degenerate structure of the critical set of the form, assuming only that the form is…
We discuss controlled connectivity properties of closed 1-forms and their cohomology classes and relate them to the simple homotopy type of the Novikov complex. The degree of controlled connectivity of a closed 1-form depends only on…
We develop a general algebraic framework involving "Poincar\'e--Novikov structures" and "filtered matched pairs" to provide an abstract approach to the barcodes associated to the homologies of interlevel sets of $\mathbb{R}$- or…
We use noncommutative localization to construct a chain complex which counts the critical points of a circle-valued Morse function on a manifold, generalizing the Novikov complex. As a consequence we obtain new topological lower bounds on…
In this paper I suggest an alternative approach (using generic flat bundles and higher Massey products) to a Lusternik-Schnirelman type theory for closed 1-forms (cf. also math.DG/9811113)
To a pair (X,f), X compact ANR and f a continuous angle valued map defined on X, a fixed field and a nonnegative integer one assigns a finite configuration of complex numbers with multiplicities located in the punctured complex plane and a…
In this paper, we construct a Hamiltonian Floer theory based invariant called relative symplectic cohomology, which assigns a module over the Novikov ring to compact subsets of closed symplectic manifolds. We show the existence of…
