About the diffeomorphisms of the 3-sphere and a famous theorem of Cerf ()
François Laudenbach
Using a rigidity property of the foliations of that are defined by a non-vanishing closed one-form, we give a rather simple proof of a theorem due J. Cerf, goin…
W. P. Thurston and French mathematics
François Laudenbach, Athanase Papadopoulos
We give a general overview of the influence of William Thurston on the French mathematical school and we show how some of the major problems he solved are rooted in the French math…
A geometric Morse-Novikov complex with infinite series coefficients
François Laudenbach, Carlos Moraga Ferrandiz
Let M be a closed n-dimensional manifold, n > 2, whose first real cohomology group H 1 (M ; R) is non-zero. We present a general method for constructing a Morse 1-form on M , c…
Homoclinic bifurcation in Morse-Novikov theory, a doubling phenomenon
François Laudenbach, Carlos Moraga Ferrándiz
We consider a compact manifold of dimension greater than 2 and a differential form of degree one which is closed but non-exact. This form, viewed as a multi-valued function has a g…
