Rigidity and gluing for Morse and Novikov complexes

Octav Cornea, Andrew Ranicki (2003)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We obtain rigidity and gluing results for the Morse complex of a real-valued Morse function as well as for the Novikov complex of a circle-valued Morse function. A rigidity result is also proved for the Floer complex of a hamiltonian defined on a closed symplectic manifold ( M , ω ) with c 1 | π 2 ( M ) = [ ω ] | π 2 ( M ) = 0 . The rigidity results for these complexes show that the complex of a fixed generic function/hamiltonian is a retract of the Morse (respectively Novikov or Floer) complex of any other sufficiently C 0 close generic function/hamiltonian....

Small eigenvalues of the Neumann realization of the semiclassical Witten Laplacian

D. Le Peutrec (2010)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

This article follows the previous works [HeKlNi, HeNi] by Helffer-Klein-Nier and Helffer-Nier about the metastability in reversible diffusion processes via a Witten complex approach. Again, exponentially small eigenvalues of some self-adjoint realization of Δ f , h ( 0 ) = - h 2 Δ + f ( x ) 2 - h Δ f ( x ) are considered as the small parameter h > 0 tends to 0 . The function f is assumed to be a Morse function on some bounded domain Ω with boundary Ω . Neumann type boundary conditions are considered. With these boundary conditions, some possible simplifications...

Some perturbation results for non-linear problems

Carlo Carminati (1993)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We discuss the existence of closed geodesic on a Riemannian manifold and the existence of periodic solution of second order Hamiltonian systems.

Some results on critical groups for a class of functionals defined on Sobolev Banach spaces

Silvia Cingolani, Giuseppina Vannella (2001)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We present critical groups estimates for a functional f defined on the Banach space W 0 1 , p Ω , Ω bounded domain in R N , 2 < p < , associated to a quasilinear elliptic equation involving p -laplacian. In spite of the lack of an Hilbert structure and of Fredholm property of the second order differential of f in each critical point, we compute the critical groups of f in each isolated critical point via Morse index.
