Title 幾何学特別講義 "Closed one-forms in topology and dynamics" 
Field Geometry
SpeakersMichael Farber
AffiliationWarick University
AbstractI will survey the recent progress in topology and
dynamics using the techniques of closed 1-forms.
I will describe a Lusternik–Schnirelmann
type theory for closed 1-forms which includes the focusing effect for
flows and the theory of Lyapunov 1-forms. This approach allows to draw
conclusions about properties of flows by studying homotopical and
cohomological
features of manifolds.
