SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student DGT: The Fundamental Theorem of Morse Theory
DESCRIPTION:Morse Theory lets us use tools of calculus to understand the topology of a manifold. We will introduce the basic ideas and motivations of Morse theory\, explaining how the homotopy type of a manifold M is determined by nondegenerate critical points of a function f on M. We then apply these tools to the energy functional\, allowing us to determine the homotopy type of the path space of a complete Riemannian manifold. Milnor calls this “The Fundamental Theorem of Morse Theory”\; as time allows\, we will sketch the proof.
