The inequalities are given in terms of the $L^2$-Betti numbers and functions on the acting group which describe rough configurations of critical points of a Morse function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-11-07T06:24:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57R19", "58E05" ], "keywords": [ "noncompact manifold", "morse function", "discrete group", "establish morse inequalities", "group action" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
