Discrete Morse Theory
Urshita Pal
Discrete Morse Theory is a tool to study the homotopy type of a simplicial complex, via "nice" functions on it. It gives an algorithm for collapsing certain simplices without changing the homotopy type, thus simplifying the cell structure of the simplicial complex. This talk aims to give an overview of this technique, covering several examples along the way.
