Morse homology for generating functions of Lagrangian submanifolds (Q4257569)

The paper gives the full details of a proof for the identity of the symplectic invariants constructed in two different ways, one by \textit{C. Viterbo} [Math. Ann. 292, 685-710 (1992; Zbl 0780.58023)] using the (finite-dimensional) stable Morse theory, and the other by the reviewer [J. Differ. Geom. 46, 499-577 (1997; Zbl 0926.53031)] using the Floer homology theory. The question of identity was raised in the reviewer's earlier paper [``Symplectic topology as the geometry of action functional. II: Pants product and cohomological invariants'', Commun. Anal. Geom. 7, 1-55 (1999)] and the proof was outlined in [J. Korean Math. Soc. 34, 1065-1087 (1997; Zbl 0921.58019)] by the author and the reviewer. The present paper provides the full details of this proof. The author uses a nice geometric setup in which the two approaches are unified, and which also incorporates Viterbo's and the reviewer's constructions. This completely eliminates the analytic difficulties which could have made the proof much more technical. The identity of the two invariants is then a consequence of some continuity arguments.
