The Morse-Witten complex is a mathematical construction that arises in Morse theory, which studies the topology of manifolds using smooth functions. It consists of a chain complex built from the critical points of a Morse function on a manifold and their corresponding stable and unstable manifolds, providing a powerful tool to compute Morse homology and establish connections between differential topology and algebraic topology.
