Solar and Heliospheric Plasmas (SHP)

Solar magnetism lies at the root of most solar and heliospheric physics. The sun's magnetic field is generated by enigmantic dynamo processes in the solar interior, is organized into highly complex patterns of solar activity observed in the solar photosp here, dominates the structure of the oute...

Morse theory and diffeomorhism

Morse theory is built on the idea that the singularity structure of smooth functions on a differntiable manifold may give rise to a cell structure on the manifold, and hence will determine its homotopy type. This often makes sense also for infinite dimens ional manifolds, and the objective of thi...
