Homotopical dynamics of gradient flows

In this paper we will be interested in results surrounding the following basic question: what are the homotopy properties that one can extract from a gradient flow? We approach this question by decomposing it into three parts: 1. Identify what are the homotopical objects that are provided by the flow (e.g. critical points, Conley indexes). 2. Discover what are the relations that have to be satisfied by these objects (e.g. Morse inequalities, Lusternik-Schnirelmann type inequalities)....
