Shape index and other indices of Conley type for local maps on locally compact Hausdorff spaces

Marian Mrozek (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We present a scheme for constructing various Conley indices for locally defined maps. In particular, we extend the shape index of Robbin and Salamon to the case of a locally defined map in a locally compact Hausdorff space. We compare the shape index with the cohomological Conley index for maps. We also prove the commutativity property of the Conley index, which is analogous to the commutativity property of the fixed point index.

Shape index in metric spaces

Francisco R. Ruiz del Portal, José M. Salazar (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We extend the shape index, introduced by Robbin and Salamon and Mrozek, to locally defined maps in metric spaces. We show that this index is additive. Thus our construction answers in the affirmative two questions posed by Mrozek in [12]. We also prove that the shape index cannot be arbitrarily complicated: the shapes of q-adic solenoids appear as shape indices in natural modifications of Smale's horseshoes but there is not any compact isolated invariant set for any locally defined map in a locally...

Simple connection matrices

Piotr Bartłomiejczyk (2007)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We introduce simple connection matrices. We prove the existence of simple connection matrices for filtered differential vector spaces and Morse decompositions of compact metric spaces.
