Homology stratifications and intersection homology
نویسندگان
چکیده
A homology stratification is a filtered space with local homology groups constant on strata. Despite being used by Goresky and MacPherson [3] in their proof of topological invariance of intersection homology, homology stratifications do not appear to have been studied in any detail and their properties remain obscure. Here we use them to present a simplified version of the Goresky–MacPherson proof valid for PL spaces, and we ask a number of questions. The proof uses a new technique, homology general position, which sheds light on the (open) problem of defining generalised intersection homology.

Hochschild and Cyclic Homology of Finite Type Algebras
We study Hochschild and cyclic homology of finite type algebras using abelian stratifications of their primitive ideal spectrum. Hochschild homology turns out to have a quite complicated behavior, but cyclic homology can be related directly to the singular cohomology of the strata. We also briefly discuss some connections with the representation theory of reductive p–adic groups.
متن کاملExact sequences of extended $d$-homology
In this article, we show the existence of certain exact sequences with respect to two homology theories, called d-homology and extended d-homology. We present sufficient conditions for the existence of long exact extended d- homology sequence. Also we give some illustrative examples.
متن کاملStratified simplices and intersection homology
Intersection homology is obtained from ordinary homology by imposing conditions on how the embedded simplices meet the strata of a space X . In this way, for the middle perversity, properties such as strong Lefschetz are preserved. This paper defines local-global intersection homology groups, that record global information about the singularities of X . They differ from intersection homology in...
متن کاملAn introduction to intersection homology with general perversity functions
We provide an expository survey of the different notions of perversity in intersection homology and how different perversities require different definitions of intersection homology theory itself. We trace the key ideas from the introduction of intersection homology by Goresky and MacPherson through to the recent and ongoing work of the author and others.
متن کاملPersistent Intersection Homology
The theory of intersection homology was developed to study the singularities of a topologically stratified space. This paper incorporates this theory into the already developed framework of persistent homology. We demonstrate that persistent intersection homology gives useful information about the relationship between an embedded stratified space and its singularities. We give, and prove the co...
