This book is an introduction to modern methods of symplectic topology. It is devoted to explaining the solution of an important problem originating from classical mechanics: the 'Arnold conjecture', which asserts that the number of 1-periodic trajectories of a non-degenerate Hamiltonian system is bounded below by the dimension of the homology of the underlying manifold. The first part is a thorough introduction to Morse theory, a fundamental tool of differential topology. It defines the Morse complex and the Morse homology, and develops some of their applications. Morse homology also serves a simple model for ... Read more

Reviews for Morse Theory and Floer Homology
From the book reviews: The present book is an excellent, detailed and self-contained introduction to Morse theory and Floer homology which makes both topics easily accessible to graduate or even advanced undergraduate students. (Sonja Hohloch, Mathematical Reviews, August, 2014) Morse Theory and Floer Homology is a relatively high-level introduction to, and ... Read more
