Abstract

This project intends to explore several aspects of the rich interaction between Morse theory and global differential geometry, that is: on the level of semi-Riemannian geometry we will investigate strongly indefinite variational problems via infinite dimensional Morse homology, whereas on the level of Riemannian geometry the main lines of investigation relate to the construction of taut submanifolds (homogeneous or not) in Riemannian symmetric spaces via the study of polar and variationally complete actions and their generalizations.
