Esta memoria está dedicada a la extensión para complejos simpliciales infinitos de los conceptos y resultados de la teoría de Morse discreta ya estudiados en el caso finito. En un principio, dicho estudio se centrará en el caso de los 1-complejos infinito

In this paper we establish a natural definition of Lusternik-Schnirelmann category for simplicial complexes via the well known notion of contiguity. This simplicial category has the property of being invariant under strong equivalences, and it only depends on the simplicial structure rather than its geometric realization. In a similar way to...

We obtain the number of non-homologically equivalent excellent discrete Morse functions defined on compact orientable surfaces. This work is a continuation of the study which has been done in [2, 4] for graphs.

This paper is focused on the study of perfect discrete Morse functions on a 2-simplicial complex. These are those discrete Morse functions such that the number of critical i-simplices coincides with the i-th Betti number of the complex. In particular, we establish conditions under which a 2-complex admits a perfect discrete Morse function and...

The aim of this paper is to study the notion of critical element of a proper discrete Morse function defined on non-compact graphs and surfaces. It is an extension to the non-compact case of the concept of critical simplex which takes into account the monotonous behaviour of a function at the ends of a complex. We show how the number of...

The simplicial LS-category of a nite abstract simplicial complex is a new invariant of the strong homotopy type, de ned in purely combinatorial terms. We prove that it generalizes to arbitrary simplicial complexes the well known notion of arboricity of a graph, and that it allows to develop many notions and results of alge- braic topology...

We develop Morse–Bott theory on posets, generalizing both discrete Morse–Bott theory for regular complexes and Morse theory on posets. Moreover, we prove a Lusternik– Schnirelmann theorem for general matchings on posets, in particular, for Morse–Bott functions.

We prove a version of the fundamental theorems of Morse theory in the setting of finite partially ordered sets. By using these results we extend Forman's discrete Morse theory to more general cell complexes and derive the Morse-Pitcher inequalities in that context.

We prove in this paper that if a metric space supports a real continuous function which is not uniformly continuous then, under appropriate mild assumptions, there exists in fact a plethora of such functions, in both topological and algebraical senses. Corresponding results are also obtained concerning unbounded continuous functions on a...
