We prove a classification theorem for transitive Anosov and pseudo-Anosov flows on closed 3-manifolds, up to orbit equivalence. In many cases, flows on a 3-manifold $M$ are completely determined by the set of free homotopy classes of their…

This paper is a continuation of arXiv:1201.1102. We investigate the orbit closures for the class of representations of simple algebraic groups associated to various gradings on the simple Lie algebra of type $E_7$. The methods for…

Our purpose here is to adapt the results of Geodesic circle foliations for Reeb flows or Hamiltonian flows on contact manifolds. Consequently, all periods are exactly the same if the contact manifold is connected and all orbits on the…

The paper contains a review on recent progress in the deformational properties of smooth maps from compact surfaces $M$ to a one-dimensional manifold $P$. It covers description of homotopy types of stabilizers and orbits of a large class of…

We establish a precise asymptotic formula for the number of homotopy classes of periodic orbits for the geodesic flow on rank one manifolds of nonpositive curvature. This extends a celebrated result of G. A. Margulis to the nonuniformly…

We discuss controlled connectivity properties of closed 1-forms and their cohomology classes and relate them to the simple homotopy type of the Novikov complex. The degree of controlled connectivity of a closed 1-form depends only on…

We generalize some of the results of Harvey, Lawson and Latschev about transgression formulas. The focus here is on flowing forms via vertical vector fields, especially Morse-Bott-Smale vector fields. We prove a very general transgression…

Following the proposals of Donaldson-Thomas, Haydys and Gaiotto-Moore-Witten, we give a construction of Fukaya-Seidel categories for a suitable class of Morse Landau-Ginzburg models using the complex gradient flow equation, which has the…

We show that every pseudo-Anosov flow on a graph manifold is almost equivalent, i.e. orbit equivalent in the complement of a finite collection of closed orbits, to a totally periodic pseudo-Anosov flow or a suspension Anosov flow. The proof…

Let X be a closed manifold with zero Euler characteristic, and let f: X --> S^1 be a circle-valued Morse function. We define an invariant I which counts closed orbits of the gradient of f, together with flow lines between the critical…

We study orbit spaces of generalized gradient vector fields for Morse functions. Typically, these orbit spaces are non-Hausdorff. Nevertheless, they are quite structured topologically and are amenable to study. We show that these orbit…

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…

We classify the orbit closures in the variety Nov_3 of complex, 3-dimensional Novikov algebras and obtain the Hasse diagrams for the closure ordering of the orbits. We provide invariants which are easy to compute and which enable us to…

In [Orbit equivalences of pseudo-Anosov flows, arXiv:2211.10505], it was proved that transitive pseudo-Anosov flows on any closed 3-manifold are determined up to orbit equivalence by the set of free homotopy classes represented by periodic…

We prove that the orbit closure of the determinant is not normal. A similar result is obtained for the orbit closure of the permanent multiplied by a power of a linear form.

We construct a deformed Morse complex computing the equivariant cohomology of a manifold M endowed with a smooth S^1-action. The deformation of the coboundary operator is given by counting gradient flow lines of a Morse function f that are…

Let $M$ be a closed manifold and $\mathcal{A} \subseteq H^1_{\mathrm{dR}}(M)$ a polytope. For each $a \in \mathcal{A}$ we define a Novikov chain complex with a multiple finiteness condition encoded by the polytope $\mathcal{A}$. The…

It is known that $C^r$ Morse-Smale vector fields form an open dense subset in the space of vector fields on orientable closed surfaces and are structurally stable for any $r \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$. In particular, $C^r$ Morse vector fields…

One of the basic objects in the Morse theory of circle-valued maps is Novikov complex - an analog of the Morse complex of Morse functions. Novikov complex is defined over the ring of Laurent power series with finite negative part. The main…

Given a $1$-cohomology class $u$ on a closed manifold $M$, we define a Novikov fundamental group associated to $u$, generalizing the usual fundamental group in the same spirit as Novikov homology generalizes Morse homology to the case of…
