This is done by analyzing precisely the spectrum of the generator of such a flow acting on certain anisotropic spaces of currents. In particular, we prove that this dynamical spectrum is given by linear combinations with integer coefficients of the Lyapunov exponents at the critical points of the Morse function. Via this spectral analysis and in analogy with Hodge-de Rham theory, we give an interpretation of the Morse complex as the image of the de Rham complex under the spectral projector on the kernel of the generator of the flow. This allows us to recover classical results from differential topology such as the Morse inequalities and Poincaré duality.Lire moins >
