Morse complexity of homology classes
Fedor Manin, Bena Tshishiku, Shmuel Weinberger
The Morse complexity of a manifold is the minimal number of handles required to build it. We explore the Morse complexity of manifolds, bordisms, and homology classes, proving nont…

Persistent homology of function spaces
Jonathan Block, Fedor Manin, Shmuel Weinberger
We can view the Lipschitz constant as a height function on the space of maps between two manifolds and ask (as Gromov did nearly 30 years ago) what its ``Morse landscape'' looks li…
