Morse Theory of Gradient Flows, Concavity and Complexity on Manifolds with Boundary
Résumé :
Putting constraints on the nature of the interaction between nonsingular gradient-like fields and the boundary of a smooth compact manifold have profound implications for the topology of the manifold, and this book describes these implications. Along the way, this study extends into the spaces of flow trajectories, their complexity and intricate combinatorics. New invariants of gradient flows, as well as invariants of the underlying manifold are produced, based on t... >Voir plus
