Cette thèse établit l'existence d'une variante de l'homologie de Floer de type Morse-Bott. Étant donnés une variété torique (W²ⁿ, ω, µ) et un hamiltonien H : W × S ¹ → ℝ invariant par l’action du tore de dimension n Tⁿ, , les orbites de H sont stables par l’action torique. Cette dernière admettant des points fixes dans W, elle n’est pas libre, pareillement pour celle induit sur les lacets de W et il est, a priori, impossible de construire une théorie de Morse-Bott équivariante au niveau de C∞(S¹, W)/Tⁿ. Nous remédions à ce problème en adoptant la construction de Borel : nous choisissons un espace E contractile muni d’une action libre du tore regardons l’homologie de Morse-Bott en dimension infinie de l’espace (C∞(S¹, W) × E)/Tⁿ où Tⁿ agit cette fois de manière diagonale sur le produit.L’homologie obtenue est un invariant pour les variétés symplectiques toriques et nous le calculons dans le cas d’une variété fermée. / This thesis establishes the existence of a version of Floer homology in a Morse-Bottcontext. Given a toric manifold (Wⁿ, ω, µ) and a hamiltonian H : W × S¹ → ℝ invariant bythe action of the torus Tⁿ, the periodical orbits of H are stable by the toric action.The latter admits fix points in W and hence it not free, neither one induced on the spaceof the loops of W and it is, a priori, impossible to establish a equivariant infinite-dimensionalMorse-Bott theory on C∞(S¹, W)/Tⁿ. We deal with this problem using Borel’s construction : we choose a space contractible E witha free action from the torus and look at the infinite-dimensional Morse-Bott homology of thespace (C∞(S¹, W) × E)/Tⁿ where Tⁿ act in a diagonal way on the product.We obtain an invariant for symplectic toric manifold and computes it for a closed manifold.

We generalize Forman’s discrete Morse theory, on one end by developing a discrete analogue of Morse-Bott theory for CW complexes, motivated by Morse-Bott theory in the smooth setting. On the other, motivated by J-N. Corvellec’s Morse theory for continuous functionals, we generalize Forman’s discrete Morse-floer theory by considering a vector field more general than the one extracted from a discrete Morse function, and defining a boundary operator from which the Betti numbers of the CW complex are obtained. We also do some Conley theory analysis.

In 1970, Raoul Bott published The Periodicity Theorem for the Classical Groups and Some of Its Applications, in which he uses this famous result as a guideline to present some important areas and tools of Algebraic Topology. This dissertation aims to use the path Bott presented in his article as a guideline to address certain topics on Algebraic Topology. We start this incursion developing important tools used in Homotopy Theory such as spectral sequences and Eilenberg-MacLane spaces, exploring how they can be combined to aid in computation of homotopy groups. We then study important results of Morse Theory, a tool which was in the centre of Botts proof of the Periodicity Theorem. We also develop two extensions: Morse-Bott Theory, and the applications of such results to the loopspace of a manifold. We end by giving an introduction to generalised cohomology theories and K-Theory. / Em 1970, Raoul Bott publicou o artigo The Periodicity Theorem for the Classical Groups and Some of Its Applications no qual usava esse famoso resultado como um guia para apresentar importantes áreas e ferramentas da Topologia Algébrica. O presente trabalho usa o mesmo caminho traçado por Bott em seu artigo como roteiro para explorar tópicos importantes da Topologia Algébrica. Começamos esta incursão desenvolvendo ferramentas importantes da Teoria de Homotopia como sequências espectrais e espaços de Eilenberg-MacLane, explorando como estes podem ser combinados para auxiliar em cálculos de grupos de homotopia. Passamos então a estudar resultados importantes de Teoria de Morse, uma ferramenta que estava no centro da demonstração de Bott do Teorema da Periodicidade. Desenvolvemos ainda, duas extensões: Teoria de Morse-Bott e aplicações destes resultados ao espaço de laços de uma variedade. Terminamos com uma introdução a teorias de cohomologia generalizadas e K-Teoria.
