In 1981 Edward Witten proved a remarkable result where he derived the classical Morse Inequalities using ideas from Supersymmetric (SUSY) Quantum Mechanics. In this regard, one has an example where a Physical Theory has something to say about the underlying Mathematical Structure. The objective of this essay is to understand this classical result from the perspective of Schr{o}dinger Operators. The essay will be divided in four parts. The first part will revisit the classical theory of Morse and recall some of its fundamental results. In the second part, we consider the underlying physical motivations by considering Quantum Mechanics and 0-Dimensional SUSY. The third part will focus on Schr{o}dinger Operators and highlight some of their basic properties. Finally in the last section we will put everything together and present Wittens proof of the Morse Inequalities. Even here we must be completely honest and say that we only follow Witten in proving the Weak Morse Inequalities. The Strong Morse Inequalities are derived using related ideas from Supersymmetry, but mention is made of the techniques used by Witten to get at the Strong Morse Inequalities.
For any smooth Riemannian metric on an $(n+1)$-dimensional compact manifold with boundary $(M,partial M)$ where $3leq (n+1)leq 7$, we establish general upper bounds for the Morse index of free boundary minimal hypersurfaces produced by min-max theory
Computation of circuit complexity has gained much attention in the Theoretical Physics community in recent times to gain insights about the chaotic features and random fluctuations of fields in the quantum regime. Recent studies of circuit complexity
We study the direct and inverse scattering problem for the one-dimensional Schrodinger equation with steplike potentials. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the scattering data to correspond to a potential with prescribed smoothness and
The lowest eigenvalue of the Schrodinger operator $-Delta+mathcal{V}$ on a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary is studied. We focus on the particularly subtle case of a sign changing potential with positive average.
We show that for a one-dimensional Schrodinger operator with a potential whose (j+1)th moment is integrable the jth derivative of the scattering matrix is in the Wiener algebra of functions with integrable Fourier transforms. We use this result to im
