RT Book, Section T1 Shape and Conley index of attractors and isolated invariant sets A1 Rodríguez Sanjurjo, José Manuel A2 Staicu, Vasile AB This article is an exposition of several results concerning the theory of continuous dynamical systems, in which Topology plays a key role. We study homological and homotopical properties of attractors and isolated invariant compacta as well as properties of their unstable manifolds endowed with the intrinsic topology. We also provide a dynamical framework to express properties which are studied in Topology under the name of Hopf duality. Finally we see how the use of the intrinsic topology makes it possible to calculate the Conley-Zehnder equations of a Morse decomposition of an isolated invariant compactum, provided we have enough information about its unstable manifold.
