Discrete Morse theory: how do zig-zag paths determine homotopy type?

Thanks to Cosheaf Overlord Justin Curry for bringing this question to my attention. I'm only going to address the first question here, and I think with some computations (whose complexity depends on y …

Using Discrete Morse Theory to represent hom classes

The answer to your question as stated is no. What discrete Morse theory gives you, starting from a finite regular CW complex $X$ and a discrete Morse function $f:X \to \mathbb{R}$ (with discrete vec …

Morse matching with 0-cells and (n-1)-cells

Based on the comments under the question, it seems that the real question is as follows: Let $P$ be a finite poset whose maximal chains have length $\leq n+1$ for some strictly positive $n \in \ma …
