Abstract: To a pair (X,f), X compact ANR and f a continuous angle valued map defined on X, a fixed field and a nonnegative integer one assigns a finite configuration of complex numbers with multiplicities located in the punctured complex plane and a finite configuration of free modules over the ring of Laurent polynomials (with coefficients in the fixed field) indexed by the same complex numbers. This is done in analogy with the configuration of eigenvalues and of generalized eigenspaces of an invertible linear operator in a finite dimensional complex vector space. The configuration of complex numbers refines the Novikov - Betti number and the configuration of free modules refines the Novikov homology associated with the cohomology class defined by f, in the same way the collection of eigenvalues and of generalized eigen-spaces refine the dimension of the vector space and the vector space on which the operator acts. In the case the field is the field of complex numbers the configuration of free modules induces by "von-Neumann completion" a configuration of mutually orthogonal closed Hilbert submodules of the L 2--homology of the infinite cyclic cover of X determined by the map f, which is an Hilbert module over the von-Neumann algebra of complex L-infinity functions on the unit circle in the complex plane.

Review text

Given a compact ANR \(X\) and a map \(f\colon X\to S^1\), a field \(\kappa\) and a non-negative integer, the author assigns to this a finite configuration of complex numbers with multiplicities, and a finite configuration of free \(\kappa[t,t^{-1}]\)-modules indexed over the same complex numbers. The finite configuration of complex numbers refine the Novikov-Betti numbers, while the configurations of free modules refine Novikov homology of \(X\) correspoding to \(f\). In the case \(\kappa = \mathbb{C}\) the author shows that the configuration of free modules can be completed to mutually orthogonal closed Hilbert submodules of the \(L^2\)-homology of the infinite cyclic covering determined by \(f\).
