In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition that discrete Morse functions on a digraph can be extended to be Morse functions on its transitive closure, from this we can extend the Morse theory to digraphs by using quasi-isomorphism between path complex and discrete Morse complex, we also prove a general sufficient condition for digraphs that the Morse functions satisfying this necessary and sufficient condition.

In this paper, we prove that discrete Morse functions on digraphs are flat Witten-Morse functions and Witten complexes of transitive digraphs approach to Morse complexes. We construct a chain complex consisting of the formal linear combinations of paths which are not only critical paths of the transitive closure but also allowed elementary paths of the digraph, and prove that the homology of the new chain complex is isomorphic to the path homology. On the basis of the above results, we give the Morse inequalities on digraphs.

We show that the Hopf elements, the Kervaire classes, and the -family in the stable homotopy groups of spheres are detected by the Hurewicz map from the sphere spectrum to the C 2-fixed points of the Real bordism spectrum. A subset of these families is detected by the C 2-fixed points of Real JohnsonWilson theory E R (n), depending on n. In the proof, we establish an isomorphism between the slice spectral sequence and the C 2-equivariant May spectral sequence of B P R.
