We take advantage of the relative simplicity of $2D$-worlds to explain and popularize our approach to the Morse theory on smooth manifolds with boundary, in which the boundary effects take the central stage.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-10T21:57:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dimensions", "general results", "morse theory", "smooth manifolds", "boundary effects" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151103310K" } } }
