Abstract

In this paper we suggest an analog of the Lusternik-Schnirelman theory for closed 1-forms. Namely, we use cup-products and higher Massey products to find topological lower bounds on the minimal number of geometrically distinct critical points of any closed 1-form in a given cohomology class.
