Abstract:
We define the Floer complex for Hamiltonian orbits on the cotangent bundle of a compact
manifold satisfying non-local conormal boundary conditions. We prove that the homology of
this chain complex is isomorphic to the singular homology of the natural path space associated
to the boundary condition.
