The classifying space of a Morse flow category

April 28, 2026 @ 4:15 pm - 6:00 pm

Joint Math/CMSA Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar

Speaker: Lorenzo Riva, Harvard CMSA

Title: The classifying space of a Morse flow category
Abstract: Following a paper of Calle and Liu we show that, under suitable tameness assumptions, the classifying space of the Morse category associated to a manifold M with a Morse function recovers the homotopy type of M, thereby addressing a gap in a preprint of Cohen-Jones-Segal. We also give a counterexample when those assumptions are not satisfied.
