Spectral numbers and manifolds with boundary

Abstract: We consider a smooth submanifold

N

with a smooth boundary in an ambient closed manifold

M

and assign a spectral invariant

c (a l p h a, H)

to every singular homological class

a l p h a i n H_{*} (N)

and a Hamiltonian

H

defined on the cotangent bundle

T^{*} M

. We also derive certain properties of spectral numbers, for example we prove that spectral invariants

c_{p} m (H, N)

associated to the whole Floer homology

H F_{*} (H, N : M)

of the submanifold

N

, are limits of the decreasing nested family of open sets.
