"This chapter contains a presentation of discrete Morse theory as developed by
Robin Forman (see e.g. [20], [21]). This theory allows to combinatorially construct
from a given (regular, finite) CW-complex a second CW-complex that is homotopy
equivalent to the first but has fewer cells. As the upshot of this chapter we then
show that one can use this theory in order to construct minimal free resolutions (
see also [3]). Discrete Morse ..."
