Witten's perturbation on strata (Q525714)

This paper contains nineteen sections. The main result is a version of Morse inequalities for the minimum and maximum ideal boundary conditions of the de Rham complex on strata of compact Thom-Mather stratifications, endowed with adapted metrics. An adaptation of the analytic method of Witten is used in the proof, as well as certain perturbation of the harmonic oscillator related with the Dunkl harmonic oscillator. Moreover, this paper is supported by two appendices. The first contains the proofs of the new results stated about stratifications, as well as their adapted metrics and rel-Morse functions and the second the proofs of the new auxiliary results stated about Hilbert complexes, specially for ideal boundary conditions of elliptic complexes
