Examples of Morse-Bott Homology

Abstract: In this talk I will give a brief outline of the theory of Morse-Bott Homology based on singular topological chains. Singular topological chains are generalizations of the usual singular chains modeled on the standard p-simplex where maps from a variety of domains are considered. After a brief outline of the theory I will give examples of computing homology using the Morse-Bott-Smale chain complex based on singular topological chains.


We meet weekly on Thursday afternoons, with the third meeting of each month in Altoona. If you are interested in giving a talk in our seminar please contact one of the coordinators for the Spring 2006 semester: Aissa Wade and Wojciech Dorabiala.
