Abstract: Let M be a closed manifold and mathcalAsubseteqHmathrmdR1(M) a polytope. For each ainmathcalA we define a Novikov chain complex with a multiple finiteness condition encoded by the polytope mathcalA. The resulting polytope Novikov homology generalizes the ordinary Novikov homology. We prove that any two cohomology classes in a prescribed polytope give rise to chain homotopy equivalent polytope Novikov complexes over a Novikov ring associated to said polytope. As applications we present a novel approach to the (twisted) Novikov Morse Homology Theorem and prove a new polytope Novikov Principle. The latter generalizes the ordinary Novikov Principle and a recent result of Pajitnov in the abelian case.
