Let $f:M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a Morse-Bott function on a finite dimensional closed smooth manifold $M$. Choosing an appropriate Riemannian metric on $M$ and Morse-Smale functions $f_j:C_j \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ on the critical…

On a smooth compact Riemannian manifold without boundary, we construct a finite dimensional cohomological complex of currents that are invariant by an Axiom A flow verifying Smale's transversality assumptions. The cohomology of that complex…

Let X be a complex manifold with strongly pseudoconvex boundary M. If u is a defining function for M, then -log u is plurisubharmonic on a neighborhood of M in X, and the (real) 2-form s = i \del \delbar(-log u) is a symplectic structure on…

We prove that, for any Morse function on a compact manifold and any adapted gradient satisfying the Morse-Smale condition, there is a homotopically unique complex-valued symplectic Lefschetz fibration on the cotangent bundle whose…

In the context of discrete Morse theory, we introduce Morse frames, which are maps that associate a set of critical simplexes to all simplexes. The main example of Morse frames are the Morse references. In particular, these Morse references…

We consider a possibility of the existence of intersection homology morphism, which would be associated to a map of analytic varieties. We assume that the map is an inclusion of codimension one. Then the existence of a morphism follows from…

The combination of persistent homology and discrete Morse theory has proven very effective in visualizing and analyzing big and heterogeneous data. Indeed, topology provides computable and coarse summaries of data independently from…

This is the first of a series of papers that develop a systematic bridge between constructions in discrete mathematics and the corresponding continuous analogs. In this paper, we establish an equivalence between Forman's discrete Morse…

This short note provides a symplectic analogue of Vaisman's theorem in complex geometry. Namely, for any compact symplectic manifold satisfying the hard Lefschetz condition in degree 1, every locally conformally symplectic structure is in…

We show how to construct homology bases for certain CW complexes in terms of discrete Morse theory and cellular homology. We apply this technique to study certain subcomplexes of the half cube polytope studied in previous works. This…

We introduce and geometrically characterize the notion of uniformly perfect Morse boundary for proper geodesic metric spaces. As a unifying result, we prove that the Morse boundary of any finitely generated, non-elementary group is…

We investigate the homology of cosheaves over finite simplicial complexes. After constructing the Mayer-Vietoris short exact sequence for this homology theory, we apply discrete Morse theory to this setting, defining the associated Morse…

We illustrate connections between differential geometry on finite simple graphs G=(V,E) and Riemannian manifolds (M,g). The link is that curvature can be defined integral geometrically as an expectation in a probability space of…

We construct an equivariant version of discrete Morse theory for simplicial complexes endowed with group actions. The key ingredient is a 2-categorical criterion for making acyclic partial matchings on the quotient space compatible with an…

In the spirit of Morse homology initiated by Witten and Floer, we construct two $\infty$-categories $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$. The weak one $\mathcal{A}$ comes out of the Morse-Samle pairs and their higher homotopies, and the strict…

We prove an infinite analogue of the main theorem of discrete Morse theory formulated in terms of discrete Morse matchings. Our theorem holds under the assumption that the given Morse matching induces finitely many equivalence classes of…

We develop the Lefschetz fixed-point theory for noncompact manifolds of bounded geometry and uniformly continuous maps. Specifically, we define the uniform Lefschetz class $\mathscr{L}(f)$ of a uniformly continuous map $f\colon M\to M$ of a…

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…
