We introduce two tools, dynamical thickening and flow selectors, to overcome the infamous discontinuity of the gradient flow endpoint map near non-degenerate critical points. More precisely, we interpret the stable fibrations of certain…

We construct Bott-type and stable equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer homology and cohomology for rational homology spheres, and prove their diffeomorphism invariance.

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.…

We develop the notion of a "filtered cospan" as an algebraic object that stands in the same relation to interlevel persistence modules as filtered chain complexes stand with respect to sublevel persistence modules. This relation is…

We introduce a new notion of persistence modules endowed with operators. It encapsulates the additional structure on Floer-type persistence modules coming from the intersection product with classes in the ambient (quantum) homology, along…

Recently, Manolescu-Sarkar constructed a stable homotopy type for link Floer homology, which uses grid homology and accounts for all domains that do not pass through a specific square. In doing so, they produced an obstruction chain complex…

Ozsvath and Szabo gave a combinatorial description of knot Floer homology based on a cube of resolutions, which uses maps with twisted coefficients. We study the t=1 specialization of their construction. The associated spectral sequence…

We study the problem of computing the homology of the configuration spaces of a finite cell complex $X$. We proceed by viewing $X$, together with its subdivisions, as a subdivisional space--a kind of diagram object in a category of cell…

We construct the vortex Floer homology group $VHF (M,\mu;H)$ for an aspherical Hamiltonian $G$-manifold $(M, \omega)$ with moment map $\mu$ and a class of $G$-invariant Hamiltonian loop $H_t$, following the proposal of [3]. This is a…

The moduli space of flat SU(2) connections on a punctured surface, having prescribed holonomy around the punctures, is a compact smooth manifold if the prescription is generic. This paper gives a direct, elementary proof that the trace of…

We describe a new method for combinatorially computing the transverse invariant in knot Floer homology. Previous work of the authors and Stone used braid diagrams to combinatorially compute knot Floer homology of braid closures. However,…

Floer homology is a good example of homological invariants living in the infinite dimension. We suggest a way to construct this kind of invariants using only soft essentially finite-dimensional tools; no hard analysis or PDE is involved.…

We give a purely combinatorial proof of a K\"{u}nneth formula for the minus version of knot Floer homology of connected sums by constructing a quasi-isomorphism of grid chain complexes. The quasi-isomorphism naturally deduces that the…

For any simplicial complex $X$ with a total ordering of its vertices, one can construct a chain complex $\mathbb{L}_\bullet(X)$ generated by necklaces of simplices in $X$, which computes the homology of the free loop space of the geometric…

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…

Polymer chains immersed in different solvent molecules exhibit diverse properties due to multiple spatiotemporal scales and complex interactions. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the conformational and static properties of…

We develop connections between the qualitative dynamics of Hamiltonian isotopies on a surface $\Sigma$ and their chain-level Floer theory using ideas drawn from Hofer-Wysocki-Zehnder's theory of finite energy foliations. We associate to…

Let $M$ be a compact oriented simply-connected manifold of dimension at least 8. Assume $M$ is equipped with a torsion-free semi-free circle action with isolated fixed points. We prove $M$ has a perfect invariant Morse-Smale function. The…

Given a Liouville manifold $M$, we introduce an invariant of $M$ that we call the Heegaard Floer symplectic cohomology $SH^*_\kappa(M)$ for any $\kappa \ge 1$ that coincides with the symplectic cohomology for $\kappa=1$. Writing $\hat{M}$…

Computing homology and cohomology is at the heart of many recent works and a key issue for topological data analysis. Among homological objects, homology generators are useful to locate or understand holes (especially for geometric…
