Morse-Bott Split Symplectic Homology
Abstract
We introduce a chain complex associated to a Liouville domain whose boundary admits a Boothby--Wang contact form (i.e. is a prequantization space). The differential counts cascades of Floer solutions in the completion of , in the spirit of Morse--Bott homology (as in work of Bourgeois, Frauenfelder arXiv:math/0309373 and Bourgeois-Oancea arXiv:0704.1039). The homology of this complex is the symplectic homology of the completion . We identify a class of simple cascades and show that their moduli spaces are cut out transversely for generic choice of auxiliary data. If is obtained by collapsing the boundary along Reeb orbits and is the quotient of by the -action induced by the Reeb flow, we also establish transversality for certain moduli spaces of holomorphic spheres in and in . Finally, under monotonicity assumptions on and , we show that for generic data, the differential in our chain complex counts elements of moduli spaces that are transverse. Furthermore, by some index estimates, we show that very few combinatorial types of cascades can appear in the differential.
