review text: For a closed smooth oriented and connected finite dimensional manifold \(M\), Sergey P. Novikov associated a homology with each a cohomology class \(a\in H^1_\mathrm{dR}(M)\), the so-called Novikov homology \(HN_\ast(a)\), cf. [\textit{S. P. Novikov}, Sov. Math., Dokl. 24, 222--226 (1981; Zbl 0505.58011); translation from Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 260, 31--35 (1981), Russ. Math. Surv. 37, No. 5, 1--56 (1982; Zbl 0571.58011); translation from Usp. Mat. Nauk 37, No. 5(227), 3--49 (1982)]. Let \(\Phi_a:\pi_1(M)\to\mathbb{R}\) be the period homomorphism, and let \(\pi:\widetilde{M}_a\to M\) be the minimal regular covering with the group of deck transformations \(\Gamma_a\cong\pi_1(M)/\mathrm{Ker}(\Phi_a)\). Then for any representative \(\alpha\in a\) there exists an \(\tilde{f}_\alpha\in C^\infty(\widetilde{M}_a)\) such that \(\pi^\ast\alpha=d\tilde{f}_\alpha\). For a Riemannian metric \(g\) on \(M\) the pair \((\alpha, g)\) is said to be Morse-Smale if \((\tilde{f}_\alpha, \pi^\ast g)\) satisfies the Morse-Smale condition on \(\widetilde{M}_a\). For each \(i\in\mathbb{N}_0:=\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}\) let \(\mathrm{Crit}_i(\tilde{f}_\alpha)\) denote the critical points of \(\tilde{f}_\alpha\) with Morse index \(i\). The \(i\)th Novikov chain group \(\mathrm{CN}_i(\alpha)\) consists of all formal sums \[ \xi=\sum_{\tilde{x}\in \mathrm{Crit}_i(\tilde{f}_\alpha)}\xi_{\tilde{x}}\tilde{x}\in \bigoplus_{\tilde{x}\in \mathrm{Crit}_i(\tilde{f}_\alpha)} \mathbb{Z}\langle\tilde{x}\rangle \] such that \(\{\tilde{x}\mid \xi_{\tilde{x}}\in\mathbb{Z}\setminus\{0\}\,\&\, \tilde{f}_\alpha(\tilde{x})>c\}\) is finite for each \(c\in\mathbb{R}\). The boundary operator \(\partial : \mathrm{CN}_i(\alpha) \to \mathrm{CN}_{i-1}(\alpha)\) is defined by \[ \partial \xi:=\sum_{\tilde{x}, \, \tilde{y}} \, \xi_{\tilde{x}} \cdot \#_{\mathrm{alg}} \, \underline{\mathcal{M}}(\tilde{x},\tilde{y};\tilde{f}_{\alpha}) \, \tilde{y}, \] where \(\#_{\mathrm{alg}} \, \underline{\mathcal{M}}(\tilde{x},\tilde{y};\tilde…
