Title: Mapping Cone, Morse Theory, and Witten Deformation

Abstract: Inspired by a cohomology theory introduced by Tsai, Tseng, and Yau for symplectic manifolds, we introduce a mapping cone construction for Morse theory. We will also explain how to use Witten's deformation and instanton complex to study this mapping cone complex in the case of symplectic manifolds.
