Conley-Morse Chain MapsMoeller, Todd Keith 19 July 2005 (has links)
We introduce a new class of Conley-Morse chain maps for the purpose of comparing the qualitative structure of flows across multiple scales.
Conley index theory generalizes classical Morse theory as a tool for studying the dynamics of flows. The qualitative structure of a flow, given a Morse decomposition, can be stored algebraically as a set of homology groups (Conley indices) and a boundary map between the indices (a connection matrix). We show that as long as the qualitative structures of two flows agree on some, perhaps coarse, level we can construct a chain map between the corresponding chain complexes that preserves the relations between the (coarsened) Morse sets. We present elementary examples to motivate applications to data analysis.

Supersymmetry in Quantum MechanicsChen, Ludvig January 2023 (has links)
The introduction of supersymmetry has led to great progress in the study of quantum field theories. Notably, with supersymmetry, properties of a quantum field theory can be computed with higher precision than what would otherwise be possible. In this project, we investigate supersymmetry in the context of quantum mechanics. In particular, we show how the Witten index is insensitive to the details of the supersymmetric quantum mechanical system, making it a robust quantity when considering variations in the system’s parameters. Explicit calculations of the supersymmetric ground states are carried out to identify what determines the Witten index. The concept of superpotential is introduced and we relate Morse theory to the Witten index by identifying the superpotential as a Morse function. Moreover, we consider supersymmetric quantum mechanics on compact orientable Riemann manifolds. We show how the structure of supersymmetric quantum mechanics has a close connection to topological properties of the target manifolds. Specifically, the Witten index is shown to be the Euler characteristic, a topological invariant.

On Independence, Matching, and Homomorphism ComplexesHough, Wesley K. 01 January 2017 (has links)
First introduced by Forman in 1998, discrete Morse theory has become a standard tool in topological combinatorics. The main idea of discrete Morse theory is to pair cells in a cellular complex in a manner that permits cancellation via elementary collapses, reducing the complex under consideration to a homotopy equivalent complex with fewer cells. In chapter 1, we introduce the relevant background for discrete Morse theory.
In chapter 2, we define a discrete Morse matching for a family of independence complexes that generalize the matching complexes of suitable "small" grid graphs. Using this matching, we determine the dimensions of the chain spaces for the resulting Morse complexes and derive bounds on the location of non-trivial homology groups. Furthermore, we determine the Euler characteristic for these complexes and prove that several of their homology groups are non-zero.
In chapter 3, we introduce the notion of a homomorphism complex for partially ordered sets, placing particular emphasis on maps between chain posets and the Boolean algebras. We extend the notion of folding from general graph homomorphism complexes to the poset case, and we define an iterative discrete Morse matching for these Boolean complexes. We provide formulas for enumerating the number of critical cells arising from this matching as well as for the Euler characteristic. We end with a conjecture on the optimality of our matching derived from connections to 3-equal manifolds

On The Goresky-Hingston ProductMaiti, Arun 17 February 2017 (has links) (PDF)
In [GH09] M. Goresky and N. Hingston described and investigated various properties of a product on the cohomology of the free loop space of a closed, oriented manifold M relative to the constant loops. In this thesis we will give Morse and Floer theoretic descriptions of the product. There is a theorem due to J. Jones in [JJ87] which describes an isomorphism between cohomology of the free loop space and Hochschild homology of the singular cochain algebra of M with rational coefficients. We will use the theorem of J. Jones to find an algebraic model for the Goresky-Hingston product. We then use the algebraic model to explore further properties and applications of the Goresky Hingston product. In particular we use it to compute the ring structure for the n-spheres.
