Abstract: We obtain rigidity and gluing results for the Morse complex of a real-valued Morse function as well as for the Novikov complex of a circle-valued Morse function. A rigidity result is also proved for the Floer complex of a hamiltonian defined on a closed symplectic manifold $(M,omega)$ with $c_1{|}_{p{i}_2(M)}=[omega]{|}_{p{i}_2(M)}=0$. The rigidity results for these complexes show that the complex of a fixed generic function/hamiltonian is a retract of the Morse (respectively Novikov or Floer) complex of any other sufficiently $C^0$ close generic function/hamiltonian. The gluing result is a type of Mayer-Vietoris formula for the Morse complex. It is used to express algebraically the Novikov complex up to isomorphism in terms of the Morse complex of a fundamental domain. Morse cobordisms are used to compare various Morse-type complexes without the need of bifurcation theory.

Review text

The authors obtain rigidity and gluing results for the Morse complex of a real-valued Morse function as well as for the Novikov complex of a circle-valued Morse function. A rigidity result is also proved for the Floer complex of a Hamiltonian defined on a closed symplectic manifold \((M, \omega)\) satisfying \(c_1| _{\pi_2(M)}=[\omega]| _{\pi_2(M)} =0\). The rigidity results for these chain complexes state that the complex of a fixed generic function (Hamiltonian) is a retract of the complex of any other sufficiently \(C^0\)-close generic function (Hamiltonian). The gluing result is a Mayer-Vietoris-type formula for the chain complexes.
