(P.S. lexandroff, 1937) There is a one-to-one correspondence between T 0 topologies and partial orders on a finite set X. cl := { x X y x y } x y : x cl{y} The order complex of a finite poset (X, ) is the abstract simplicial complex consisting of linearly ordered subsets of X. Theorem. (M.C. McCord, 1966) Each finite topological space X is weakly homotopy equivalent to its order complex. Theorem. (J.. armak, 2011) Each h-regular CW complex K is weakly homotopy equivalent to the order complex of the collection of its cells.

(R(X), κ ) is a free chain complex. H κ (X) - homology of (R(X), κ ) t κ s : κ(s, t) 0 induces κ - the Lefschetz partial order T 0 Lefschetz topology on X - given by κ

12 κ-subcomplexes 12 X is a κ-subcomplex of X if (, κ ) is a Lefschetz complex. mo := cl \ - mouth of is proper if mo is closed. Proposition. Every proper subset of X is a κ-subcomplex. In particular open and closed sets (in the Lefschetz topology) are κ-subcomplexes.

13 κ-subcomplexes 13 X is a κ-subcomplex of X if (, κ ) is a Lefschetz complex. mo := cl \ - mouth of is proper if mo is closed. Proposition. Every proper subset of X is a κ-subcomplex. In particular open and closed sets (in the Lefschetz topology) are subcomplexes. proper X is a zero space if H κ () = 0.

14 Combinatorial multivector fields 14 multivector is a proper V X with a unique maximal element. multivector field is a partition V of X into multivectors. V is regular if V is a zero space. Otherwise it is critical.

Theorem. (T. Kaczynski, MM, Th. Wanner) ssume X is the collection of cells of a simplicial complex X = X. Given a Morse decomposition M = { Mp p P } of X, there exists an usc, acyclic valued, homotopic to identity, multivalued map F : X X and a Morse decomposition M = { M p p P } of the induced multivalued dynamical system such that for any interval I in P the Conley indexes of M(I) and M(I) coincide.
