13 Suppose (X, h) is G-normal Morse Smale. Choose for any Σ Cr(h) a point x Σ By passing to the orbit spaces i Σ : W Σ M i x : Wx M/G Corollary 2. The manifolds Wx have canonical compactifications to smooth manifolds with corners F x and the maps i x have (smooth) completions î x : F x M/G providing a (smooth) cell complex structure for M/G. Theorem (K.H.Meyer) Given a G invariant smooth function f there exists h a normal G-Morse function arbitrary close to f in C 0 topology. 2. Given h a G Morse function there exists ( h)-gradient like vector fields. 3. ([B])Given (X, h) a normal G Morse pair, there exists X arbitray close to X in the C 0 topology so that (X, h) is a G-normal Morse Smale pair. One can choose X to be equal to X away from an arbitrary G-invariant neighborhood of Cr(h). 13

14 APPLICATIONS: 1) Smooth cell structure Corollary 3. Suppose (X, h) is a G- Morse Smale pair. 1. The partition of M into W Σ is a smooth G handle body whose G- handles are î Σ : Ŵ Σ M where Ŵ Σ are the total spaces of the bundles ˆp Σ : ŴΣ Σ. 2. If the pair is normal this partition induces a smooth cell structure for M/G and compatible smooth triangulations of F x, T x lead to compatible smooth triangulations of M/G; equivalently to a smooth G-triangulation of M. The open simplexes of M/G are open simplexes of Wx. 2)The geometric complex The smooth maps i Σ combined with integration along the fibers ( F ) provide for any critical orbit Σ the linear maps Int Σ(t) : Ω (M) Ω Ind(Σ) (Σ, o Σ ) by Int Σ(t)(ω) := F (î x ) (e t(h h(σ)) ω) 14

15 Choose orientations O : {O x orientation int x (Wx ). O orientations o Σ of the bundles ˆp Σ : WΣ Σ. The integration along the fibers induces the linear maps Σ,Σ : Ω (Σ, o Σ) Ω Ind(Σ)+Ind(Σ )+1 (Σ, o Σ). Define: Σ,Σ : Ω (Σ, o Σ ) Ω +1 (Σ, o Σ ) = d Σ C q (X) = Σ Ω q Ind(Σ) (Σ, o Σ ) and for ω Ω q (Σ, o Σ ). δ q h,o (t)(ω) := Σ e t(h(x ) h(x)) δ Σ,Σ (ω) 4 Integration Theory Int h(t) : (Ω (M), d h(t) = d + tdh ) (C (X, O), δ h,o(t)) Int h (t)(ω) = Σ Int Σ(t)(i x ) ω (Ω (M), d h (t)) and (C (X), δh,o (t)) are complexes of G- representations and Int h (t) is G equivariant. 15

16 (Int h(t)) = (Int h(t)) ξ (Int h(t)) ξ : (Ω (M) ξ, d h(t)) (C (X, ) ξ, δ h (t)) with (C (X) ξ, δh,o (t)) finite dimensional cochain complex. 4)WHS-theorem Theorem 5. Given a Riemannian metric g admissible for (X, h) and ξ an irreducible representation there exists T ξ > 0 and a canonical decomposition (Ω (M) ξ, d h(t)) = (Ω ξ,sm(m), d h(t)) (Ω ξ,la(m), d h(t)) so that (Int h (t)) ξ : (Ω ξ,sm(m), d h(t)) (C (X) ξ, δh,o(t)) is an O(1/t) isometry provided t > T ξ. 16

18 MANIFOLDS WITH CORNERS P: P is locally diffeomorphic R n + = {(x 1, x 2,..., x n ) x i 0}. P k points of P which in some chart have exactly k vanishing coordinates. P k is a smooth manifold of dimension (n k). P = P 1 P 2 P n is closed in P and a topological manifold. (P, P) is a topological manifold with boundary P. A product of manifolds with boundary is a manifold with corners. Remark 1. If P is a smooth manifold with corners, O, S smooth manifolds, p : P O and s : S O smooth maps so that p and s are transversal (p is transversal to s if its restriction to each k-boundary P k is transversal to s), then p 1 (s(s)) is a smooth submanifold with corners of P. 18

19 PROOF OF THEOREM 3 1) c N > > c i > c i 1 > > c 1, all critical values of h. ɛ > 0 small so that c i ɛ > c i 1 + ɛ Denote: M i :=h 1 (c i ), M ± i :=h 1 (c i ± ɛ i ) M(i) :=h 1 (c i 1, c i+1 ). P i trajectories (possible broken) from M i to M i P i compact smooth manifold with boundary. Let h(σ) = c r+1, h(σ ) = c r k 1 and take P := P r,r k := P r P r 1 P r k, O := r k i=r (M + i M i ), S := S Σ M r M r k+1 S+ Σ. Define p : P O s : S O. Show p and s are smooth and transversal. ˆT (Σ, Σ ) = p 1 (s(s)) 19
