Abstract: Let $alpha$ be a Morse closed $1$-form of a smooth $n$-dimensional manifold $M$. The zeroes of $alpha$ of index $0$ or $n$ are called emph{centers}. It is known that every non-vanishing de Rham cohomology class $u$ contains a Morse representative without centers. The result of this paper is the one-parameter analogue of the last statement: every generic path $(alph{a}_t{)}_{tin[0,1]}$ of closed $1$-forms in a fixed class $ueq0$ such that $alph{a}_0,alph{a}_1$ have no centers, can be modified relatively to its extremities to another such path $$ having no center at all.

Review text

This paper deals with the question of elimination of extremal index zeroes from generic paths of closed 1-forms. Let \(\alpha\) be a Morse closed \(1\)-form of a smooth \(n\)-dimensional manifold \(M\). The zeroes of \(\alpha\) of index 0 or \(n\) are called centers. It is known that every non-vanishing de Rham cohomology class \(u\) contains a Morse representative without centers. The main result of this paper is the one-parameter analogue of the last statement: every generic path \((\alpha_t)_{t\in[0,1]}\) of closed 1-forms in a fixed class \(u\neq0\) such that \(\alpha_0\), \(\alpha_1\) have no centers, can be modified relatively to its extremities to another such path \((\beta_t)_{t\in[0,1]}\) having no center at all.
