Let X be a compact oriented Riemannian manifold and let $\phi:X\to S^1$ be a circle-valued Morse function. Under some mild assumptions on $\phi$, we prove a formula relating: (a) the number of closed orbits of the gradient flow of $\phi$ of…

Framed flow categories were introduced by Cohen-Jones-Segal as a way of encoding the flow data associated to a Floer functional. A framed flow category gives rise to a CW-complex with one cell for each object of the category. The idea is…

We prove a compactness result for gradient flow lines in a general set-up which comprises both the situation of Morse gradient flow lines as well as Floer cylinders converging to a critical submanifold respectively. For the compactness…

Flows are a topological model of concurrency which enables to encode the notion of refinement of observation and to understand the homological properties of branchings and mergings of execution paths. Roughly speaking, they are Grandis'…

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…

Let $M$ be a compact smooth Riemannian $n$-manifold with boundary. We combine Gromov's amenable localization technique with the Poincar\'{e} duality to study the {\sf traversally generic} geodesic flows on $SM$, the space of the spherical…

We study the $L^2$ gradient flow of the Yang--Mills functional on the space of connection 1-forms on a principal $G$-bundle over the sphere $S^2$ from the perspective of Morse theory. The resulting Morse homology is compared to the heat…

Category theory provides a means through which many far-ranging fields of mathematics can be related by their similar structure. In a paper by Robinson [2], this interconnectivity afforded by categorical perspectives allowed for the…

We construct topological invariants, called abstract weak orbit spaces, of flows and homeomorphisms on topological spaces, to describe both gradient dynamics and recurrent dynamics. In particular, the abstract weak orbit spaces of flows on…

We consider a Morse function $f$ and a Morse-Smale gradient-like vector field $X$ on a compact connected oriented 3-manifold $M$ such that $f$ has only one critical point of index 3. Based on Laudenbach's ideas, we will show that the flow…

Let $\phi^t$ be a continuous flow on a metric space $X$ and $I$ be an isolated invariant set with an index pair $(N,L)$ and a Morse decomposition $\{M_i\}^n_{i=1}$. For every category $\nu$ on $N/L$, we prove that $\nu(N/L)\leq…

We construct a topological invariant for a Morse-Smale flow on a 3-manifold and prove that the flows are topologically equivalent iff their invariants are same.

The notion of reparametrization category is incorrectly axiomatized and it must be adjusted. It is proved that for a general reparametrization category $\mathcal{P}$, the tensor product of $\mathcal{P}$-spaces yields a biclosed semimonoidal…

We prove here that given a proper isometric action $K\times M\to M$ on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ then every continuous isometric flow on the orbit space $M/K$ is smooth, i.e., it is the projection of an $K$-equivariant smooth flow…

Given a compact Riemannian manifold $(M g)$ and Morse function $f:m\to \mathbb{R}$ whose gradient flow satisfies the Morse-Smale condition, (i.e. the stable and unstable manifolds of f intersect transversely) we construct a chain complex…

We show that the main theorem of Morse theory holds for a large class of functions on singular spaces. The function must satisfy certain conditions extending the usual requirements on a manifold that Condition C holds and the gradient flow…

An orientation theory for flow categories without bubbling is determined by a functor of $\infty$-categories $\mu \colon \mathcal{C} \to U/O$. For any such functor, we construct a stable $\infty$-category $\mathcal{F}low^{\mu}$ 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…

For a symplectic manifold satisfying some topological condition,we define a special class of modules over the deformation quantization algebra. For any two such modules we construct an infinity local system of morphisms. We construct such…

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…
