The paper proves strong holomorphic Morse inequalities on complex manifolds with optimal estimates.

We introduce Morse-type inequalities for a holomorphic circle action on a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Kaehler manifold. Our inequalities produce bounds on the multiplicities of weights occurring in the twisted Dolbeault cohomology in terms of the data of the fixed points and of the symplectic reduction. Th…

Unified proofs of weak holomorphic Morse inequalities using Bergman kernel functions.

Transcendental holomorphic Morse inequalities aim at characterizing the positivity of transcendental cohomology classes of type $(1,1)$. In this paper, we prove a weak version of Demailly's conjecture on transcendental Morse inequalities on compact Kähler manifolds. And as a consequence, we partially improve a result o…

The paper proves extension theorems for complex manifolds with Levi $q$-concave domains.

This paper extends Witten's holomorphic Morse inequalities to singular spaces.

Assume that the circle group acts holomorphically on a compact Kähler manifold with isolated fixed points and that the action can be lifted holomorphically to a holomorphic Hermitian vector bundle. We give a heat kernel proof of the equivariant holomorphic Morse inequalities. We use some techniques developed by Bismut …

We prove the equivariant holomorphic Morse inequalities for a holomorphic torus action on a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Kahler manifold when the fixed-point set is not necessarily discrete. Such inequalities bound the twisted Dolbeault cohomologies of the Kahler manifold in terms of those of the fixed-poin…

Let X be a hermitian manifold and let L^k be a high power of a hermitian line bundle over X. Local versions of Demailly's holomorphic Morse inequalities are presented - after integration they yield the usual inequalities. The local weak inequalities hold on any hermitian manifold X, regardless of compactness and comple…

We prove that Demailly's holomorphic Morse inequalities hold true for complex orbifolds by using a heat kernel method. Then we introduce the class of Moishezon orbifolds and as an application of our inequalties, we give a geometric criterion for a compact connected orbifold to be a Moishezon orbifolds, thus generalizin…

Study Bergman and spectral kernels for non-compact complex manifolds.

Let $(X,ω)$ be a Hermitian manifold and let $(E,h^E)$, $(F,h^F)$ be two Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over $X$. Suppose that the maximal rank of the Chern curvature $c(E)$ of $E$ is $r$, and the kernel of $c(E)$ is foliated, i.e. there is a foliation $Y$ of $X$, of complex codimension $r$, such that the tangent spa…

The paper proves heat kernel asymptotics for high power line bundles on complex manifolds.

We consider an abstract compact orientable Cauchy-Riemann manifold endowed with a Cauchy-Riemann complex line bundle. We assume that the manifold satisfies condition Y(q) everywhere. In this paper we obtain a scaling upper-bound for the Szegö kernel on (0, q)-forms with values in the high tensor powers of the line bund…

We show that the holomorphic Morse inequalities proved by Tian and the author [TZ1, 2] are in effect equalities by refining the analytic arguments in [TZ1, 2].

Consider an action of a connected compact Lie group on a compact complex manifold $M$, and two equivariant vector bundles $L$ and $E$ on $M$, with $L$ of rank 1. The purpose of this paper is to establish holomorphic Morse inequalities à la Demailly for the invariant part of the Dolbeault cohomology of tensor powers of …

We extend the equivariant holomorphic Morse inequalities of circle actions to cases with torus and non-Abelian group actions on holomorphic vector bundles over Kahler manifolds and show the necessity of the Kahler condition. For torus actions, there is a set of inequalities for each choice of action chambers specifying…

We discuss the Morse estimates for the curvature of several metrics on Semple weighted projective bundle over a projective variety. Following Demailly works on holomorphic Morse inequalities we show an analogue of his results along the Green-Griffiths conjecture for invariant jets.

Develops virtual Morse-Bott indices for four-manifolds, proving inequalities.

Morse inequalities for noncompact manifolds with group action.

In this paper, we prove equivariant Morse inequalities via Bismut-Lebeau's analytic localization techniques. As an application, we obtain Morse inequalities on compact manifold with nonempty boundary by applying equivariant Morse inequalities to the doubling manifold.

Characterizes geodesics on spheres with Morse index bounds and inequalities.

The paper proves a disk's energy minimizer is holomorphic and calculates its Morse index.

We study spectral behavior of the complex Laplacian on forms with values in the $k^{\text{th}}$ tensor power of a holomorphic line bundle over a smoothly bounded domain with degenerated boundary in a complex manifold. In particular, we prove that in the two dimensional case, a pseudoconvex domain is of finite type if a…

Proves strong Morse inequalities for area functional in low dimensions.

Inequalities for symplectic cohomology groups are derived.

By using asymptotic Morse inequalities we give a lower bound for the space of holomorphic sections of high tensor powers in a positive line bundle over a q-concave domain. The curvature of the positive bundle induces a hermitian metric on the manifold. The bound is given explicitely in terms of the volume of the domain…

In the present paper, we define Morse-Bott functions on manifolds with boundary which are generalizations of Morse functions and show Morse-Bott inequalities for these manifolds.

The Morse-Bott inequalities relate the topology of a closed manifold to the topology of the critical point set of a Morse-Bott function defined on it. The Morse-Bott inequalities are sometimes stated under incorrect orientation assumptions. We show that these assumptions are insufficient with an explicit counterexample…

We extend our earlier work in [TZ1], where an analytic approach to the Guillemin-Sternberg conjecture [GS] was developed, to cases where the Spin$^c$-complex under consideration is allowed to be further twisted by certain natural exterior power bundles. The main result is a weighted quantization formula in the presence…

The paper introduces Morse theory for Lie groupoids and proves inequalities.

We develop the theory of twisted L^2-cohomology and twisted spectral invariants for flat Hilbertian bundles over compact manifolds. They can be viewed as functions on the first de Rham cohomology of M and they generalize the standard notions. A new feature of the twisted L^2-cohomology theory is that in addition to sat…

In this paper we state and prove Morse type inequalities for Morse functions as well as for closed differential 1-forms. These inequalities involve delocalized Betti numbers. As an immediate consequence, we prove the vanishing of delocalized Betti numbers of manifolds fibering over the circle.

We extend our earlier work in [TZ1], where an analytic approach to the Guillemin-Sternberg conjecture [GS] was developed, to cases where the Spin^c-complex under consideration is allowed to be further twisted by certain exterior power bundles of the cotangent bundle. The main result is a weighted quantization formula i…

Let $M$ be a complex manifold of dimension $n$ with smooth connected boundary $X$. Assume that $\overline M$ admits a holomorphic $S^1$-action preserving the boundary $X$ and the $S^1$-action is transversal on $X$. We show that the $\overline\partial$-Neumann Laplacian on $M$ is transversally elliptic and as a conseque…

In 1981 Edward Witten proved a remarkable result where he derived the classical Morse Inequalities using ideas from Supersymmetric (SUSY) Quantum Mechanics. In this regard, one has an example where a Physical Theory has something to say about the underlying Mathematical Structure. The objective of this essay is to unde…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety acted on by a reductive group $G$. Let $L$ be a positive $G$-equivariant line bundle over $X$. We use the Witten deformation of the Dolbeault complex of $L$ to show, that the cohomology of the sheaf of holomorphic sections of the induced bundle on the Mumford quotient of $(X,L)$ i…

The aim of this paper is to provide a proof for a version of Morse inequality for manifolds with boundary. Our main results are certainly known to the experts on Morse theory, nevertheless it seems necessary to write down a complete proof for it. Our proof is analytic and is based on J. Roe's account of Witten's approa…

The paper studies heat kernel asymptotics and proves Morse inequalities.

The article studies cohomology on complex manifolds and proves vanishing theorems.

In this short note, we compare our previous works on the off-diagonal expansion of the Bergman kernel and the recent preprint of Lu-Shiffman (arxiv.1301.2166). In particular, we note that the vanishing of the coefficient of p^{-1/2} is implicitly contained in Dai-Liu-Ma's work (J. Differential Geom. 72 (2006), no. 1, 1…

In a previous article the author extended the Witten deformation to singular spaces with cone-like singularities and to a class of Morse functions called admissible Morse functions. The method applies in particular to complex cones and stratified Morse functions in the sense of the theory developed by Goresky and MacPh…

This paper begins the study of Morse theory for orbifolds, or more precisely for differentiable Deligne-Mumford stacks. The main result is an analogue of the Morse inequalities that relates the orbifold Betti numbers of an almost-complex orbifold to the critical points of a Morse function on the orbifold. We also show …

It is well known that the cohomology groups of a closed manifold $M$ can be reconstructed using the gradient dynamical of a Morse-Smale function $f\colon M\to \R$. A direct result of this construction are Morse inequalities that provide lower bounds for the number of critical points of $f$ in term of Betti numbers of $…

The paper constructs instanton complexes on stratified pseudomanifolds.

Let $X$ be a compact connected CR manifold of dimension $2n-1, n\geq 2$. We assume that there is a transversal CR locally free $S^1$ action on $X$. Let $L^k$ be the $k$-th power of a rigid CR line bundle $L$ over $X$. Without any assumption on the Levi-form of $X$, we obtain a scaling upper-bound for the partial Szegő …

Given, in the Lagrangian torus fibration $R^4\to R^2$, a Lagrangian submanifold $L$, endowed with a trivial flat connection, the corresponding mirror object is constructed on the dual fibration by means of a family of Morse homologies associated to the generating function of $L$, and it is provided with a holomorphic s…
