Milnor metric for Morse--Smale flows from field theory
Giovanni Molinari, Michele Schiavina
We study the partition function of Abelian theory with an axial gauge fixing condition given by a Morse--Smale vector field, and we show that it recovers the Milnor metric on…

The Fried Conjecture for Morse-Smale Flows: A Survey on Ray-Singer and Milnor Metrics
Giovanni Molinari
This paper reviews the generalised Fried conjecture for Morse-Smale flows on compact Riemannian manifolds. We first establish the proper framework by constructing the twisted de Rh…
