dc.descriptionWe discuss some applications of the Morse-Novikov theory to some problems in modern physics, where appears a non-exact closed 1-form $ω$ (a multi-valued functional). We focus mainly our attention to the cohomology of the de Rham complex of a compact manifold $M^n$ with a deformed differential $d_ω=d +λω$. Using Witten's approach to the Morse theory one can estimate the number of critical points of $ω$ in terms of the cohomology of deformed de Rham complex with sufficiently large values of $λ$ (torsion-free Novikov's inequalities). We show that for an interesting class of solvmanifolds this cohomology can be computed as the cohomology of the corresponding Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ associated with the one-dimensional representation $ρ_{λω}$.
