View ArticleLusternik—Schnirelman theory for closed 1-forms
Abstract. S. P. Novikov developed an analog of the Morse theory for closed 1-forms. In this paper we suggest an analog of the Lusternik - Schnirelman theory for closed 1-forms. For any cohomology class...
View ArticleAbsolute torsion and eta-invariant
Abstract. In a recent joint work with V. Turaev [6], we defined a new concept of combinatorial torsion which we called absolute torsion. Compared with the classical Reidemeister torsion, it has the...
