We compute the cylindrical contact homology of the links of the simple singularities. These manifolds are contactomorphic to $S^3/G$ for finite subgroups $G\subset SU(2)$. We perturb the degenerate contact form on $S^3/G$ with a Morse…

Digraphs are generalizations of graphs in which each edge is assigned with a direction or two directions. In this paper, we define discrete Morse functions on digraphs, and prove that the homology of the Morse complex and the path homology…

We show that the Morse boundary of a Morse local-to-global group is $\sigma$-compact. Moreover, we show that the converse holds for small cancellation groups. As an application, we show that the Morse boundary of a non-hyperbolic, Morse…
