MiS Preprint Repository
We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.
Conley Index Theory and Novikov-Morse Theory
Huijun Fan and Jürgen JostAbstract
We derive the general novikov-morse inequalities in a Conley type framework for flows carrying a cocycle, therefore generalizing our result in [H. Fan, and J. Jost, Novikov Morse theory for dynamical systems, Calc. Var. 17, 29-73(2002)] derived for integral cocycle. The condition for carrying a cocycle expresses the nontriviality of integrals of that cocycle on flow lines. Gradient-like flows are distinguished from general flows carrying a cocycle by boundedness conditions on these integrals.
