A Morse Theory for Massive Particles and Photons in General Relativity
Fabio Giannoni, Antonio Masiello, Paolo Piccione
In this paper we develop a Morse Theory for timelike geodesics parameterized by a constant multiple of proper time. The results are obtained using an extension to the timelike case…
