What is … a Morse Theory?
This page hosts information on
Carsten Schultz's talk "What is …
Morse Theory?" at the
"What is …?" seminar. The talk will take place on Friday, November 13, 4pm at FU Arnimallee 6, SR 031.
Abstract
A Morse function on a differentiable manifold is a real valued function with only nice critical points. The idea behind Morse Theory is to use a function like this to obtain global information on the manifold. We will have a look at some instances of this approach.
