On the stable Conley index in Hilbert spaces

Abstract

In this paper, we study Conley theory in Hilbert spaces and make some refinement of the construction of the stable Conley index developed by G\c{e}ba, Izydorek, and Pruszko. For instance, we allow subspaces other than invariant subspaces in the the construction. As a main result, we show that the resulting stable Conley index for a given isolating neighborhood of a flow does not depend on choices in the construction. We also hope that some results can be applied to the construction of Floer homotopy type.
