Functoriality and duality in Morse-Conley-Floer homology
  In~\cite{rotvandervorst} a homology theory --Morse-Conley-Floer homology-- for isolated invariant sets of arbitrary flows on finite dimensional manifolds is developed. In this paper we investigate functoriality and duality of this homology theory. As a preliminary we investigate functoriality in Morse homology. Functoriality for Morse homology of closed manifolds is known~\cite{abbondandoloschwarz, aizenbudzapolski,audindamian, kronheimermrowka, schwarz}, but the proofs use isomorphisms to other homology theories. We give direct proofs by analyzing appropriate moduli spaces. The notions of isolating map and flow map allows the results to generalize to local Morse homology and Morse-Conley-Floer homology. We prove Poincar\'e type duality statements for local Morse homology and Morse-Conley-Floer homology.
