Sep 12, 2014 at 11:58 comment added Liviu Nicolaescu That's the point. Degree theory is ineffective in this example, while Morse theory has plenty to say. The lower bounds on the number of solutions of $\nabla g=0$ are obtained using homology theory.
Sep 12, 2014 at 10:12 comment added Vrouvrou i dont clearly understand your unswer because i don't know exactly how to find solutions using degree theory
Sep 12, 2014 at 10:10 comment added Vrouvrou and from the relation between critical groups and Leray-schauder index, the fact that the Leray-schauder index is the Euler characteristic of the critical groups how it give us that Relative homology groups and critical groups provide both a finer structure and better estimate of the number of solutions? thank you
