Abstract
In this paper, we study Conley theory of flows on a Hilbert space. Our approach is to apply finite-dimensional approximation which is a slight refinement of the construction developed by Gęba, Izydorek, and Pruszko (1999). For instance, we include subspaces other than invariant subspaces in the construction. As a main result, we define a stable Conley index as an object in the stable homotopy category and show that it does not depend on choices in the construction.
