In this article we study a homotopy invariant cat(X,B,\xi) on a pair of finite CW complexes with respect to a continuous closed 1-form. This is a generalisation of a Lusternik-Schnirelmann category developed by Farber, studying the topology…

Michael Farber introduced the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category cat$(M,\xi)$ for the pair of finite CW complex $M$ and first-order cohomology $\xi$. It is inspired by the Morse-Novikov theory, which is a closed 1-form version of the Morse…

This article deals with a continuous closed 1-form defined on a CW-complex. In particular, we show Lusternik-Schnirelmann type theory on continuous closed 1-forms which is related to gradient-like flows. M.Farber defined a continuous closed…

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…

In this paper we study a new topological invariant $\Cat(X,\xi)$, where $X$ is a finite polyhedron and $\xi\in H^1(X;\R)$ is a real cohomology class. $\Cat(X,\xi)$ is defined using open covers of $X$ with certain geometric properties; it is…

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)

This article surveys recent progress of results in topology and dynamics based on techniques of closed one-forms. Our approach allows us to draw conclusions about properties of flows by studying homotopical and cohomological features of…

We prove that a Stein manifold admits a closed holomorphic 1-form without zeros in every class of the first cohomology group. We also prove an approximation result for closed holomorphic 1-forms without zeros defined in a neighborhood of a…

In this article we describe relations of the topology of closed 1-forms to the group theoretic invariants of Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz. Starting with a survey, we extend these Sigma invariants to finite CW- complexes and show that many…

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.

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…

In this paper we study a new notion of category weight of homology classes developing further the ideas of E. Fadell and S. Husseini. In the case of closed smooth manifolds the homological category weight is equivalent to the cohomological…

We prove that the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category $cat(M)$ of a closed symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$ equals the dimension $dim(M)$ provided that the symplectic cohomology class vanishes on the image of the Hurewicz homomorphism. This…

We prove a discrete version of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann theorem for discrete Morse functions and the recently introduced simplicial Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a simplicial complex. To accomplish this, a new notion of critical…

A conjecture of Kotschick predicts that a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ fibres smoothly over the circle if and only if it admits a holomorphic one-form without zeros. In this paper we develop an approach to this conjecture and verify it in…

In a recent publication (D. Govc, W. Marzantowicz, P. Pavesic, Estimates of covering type and the number of vertices of minimal triangulations, Discr. Comp. Geom. 63 (2019), 31-48) we have introduced a new method, based on the…

Popa and Schnell show that any holomorphic 1-form on a smooth projective variety of general type has zeros. In this article, we show that a smooth good minimal model has a holomorphic 1-form without zero if and only if it admits an analytic…

Both Morse theory and Lusternik-Schnirelmann theory link algebra, topology and analysis in a geometric setting. The two theories can be formulated in finite geometries like graph theory or within finite abstract simplicial complexes. We…

This paper studies the homotopy invariant $\cat(X,\xi)$ introduced in \cite{farbe2}. Given a finite cell-complex $X$, we study the function $\xi\mapsto \cat(X,\xi)$ where $\xi$ varies in the cohomology space $H^1(X;\R)$. Note that…

We show that a conjecture of Kotschick about one-forms without zeros on compact K\"ahler manifolds follows in the case of simple Albanese torus from a conjecture of Bobadilla and Koll\'ar about homologically trivial fibrations. As an…
