Our objective is to develop a stratified Morse theory with tangential conditions. We define a continuous strata-wise smooth Morse function on an abstract stratified space by using control conditions and radiality assumptions on the gradient…
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…
In this paper, we define a relative Morse complex for manifold with boundary using the handlebody decomposition of the manifold. We prove that the homology of the relative Morse complex is isomorphic to the relative singular homology.…
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…
We study the stable hom relation for Cohen-Macaulay modules over Gorenstein local algebras. We give the sufficient condition to make the stable hom relation a partial order when the base algebra is of finite representation type. As an…
We collect three observations on the homology for Smale spaces defined by Putnam. The definition of such homology groups involves four complexes. It is shown here that a simple convergence theorem for spectral sequences can be used to prove…
Given a compact manifold with a non-empty boundary and equipped with a generic Morse function (that is, no critical point on the boundary and the restriction to the boundary is a Morse function), we already knew how to construct two Morse…
We consider a finite group $G$ acting on a manifold $M$. For any equivariant Morse function, which is a generic condition, there does not always exist an equivariant metric $g$ on $M$ such that the pair $(f,g)$ is Morse-Smale. Here, the…
Given a poset-graded chain complex of vector spaces, a Conley complex is the minimal chain-homotopic reduction of the initial complex that respects the poset grading. A connection matrix is a matrix representing the differential of the…
We explicitly compute the 2-group of self-equivalences and (homotopy classes of) chain homotopies between them for any {\it split} chain complex $A_{\bullet}$ in an arbitrary $\kb$-linear abelian category ($\kb$ any commutative ring with…
We survey the recent study of involution Schubert polynomials and a modest generalization that we call degenerate involution Schubert polynomials. We cite several conditions when (degenerate) involution Schubert polynomials have simple…
In this note, we construct invariant and coinvariant Morse chain complexes with integer coefficients for any compact effective orbifold. We show that the homologies of these two chain complexes are invariants of the orbifold. We conjecture…
For a Morse function f on a compact oriented manifold M, we show that f has more critical points than the number required by the Morse inequalities if and only if there exists a certain class of link in M whose components have nontrivial…
Given a smooth closed manifold M, the Morse-Witten complex associated to a Morse function f and a Riemannian metric g on M consists of chain groups generated by the critical points of f and a boundary operator counting isolated flow lines…
Given a semistable degeneration with a simple normal crossings central fiber, Abramovich-Chen-Gross-Siebert [3] proved a degeneration formula that relates the moduli spaces of stable maps in smooth fibers to certain moduli spaces of…
We apply the homomorphism complex construction to partially ordered sets, introducing a new topological construction based on the set of maximal chains in a graded poset. Our primary objects of study are distributive lattices, with special…
We introduce a new stable birational invariant, which takes the form of a functor sending a degenerating variety to the homotopy type of a chain complex. Our invariant is a categorification of the motivic volume of Nicaise and Shinder. From…
We prove the transversality result necessary for defining local Morse chain complexes with finite cyclic group symmetry. Our arguments use special regularized distance functions constructed using classical covering lemmas, and an inductive…
We first consider three well-known chain conditions in the space of marked groups: the minimal condition on centralizers, the maximal condition on subgroups, and the maximal condition on normal subgroups. For each condition, we produce a…
For each manifold or effective orbifold $Y$ and commutative ring $R$, we define a new homology theory $MH_*(Y;R)$, $M$-$homology$, and a new cohomology theory $MH^*(Y;R)$, $M$-$cohomology$. For $MH_*(Y;R)$ the chain complex…
