Intersection homology and Poincaré duality on homotopically stratified spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that intersection homology extends Poincaré duality to manifold homotopically stratified spaces (satisfying mild restrictions). These spaces were introduced by Quinn to provide “a setting for the study of purely topological stratified phenomena, particularly group actions on manifolds.” The main proof techniques involve blending the global algebraic machinery of sheaf theory with local homotopy computations. In particular, this includes showing that, on such spaces, the sheaf complex of singular intersection chains is quasi-isomorphic to the Deligne sheaf complex. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 55N33, 57N80, 57P99

Factorization Homology of Stratified Spaces
This work forms a foundational study of factorization homology, or topological chiral homology, at the generality of stratified spaces with tangential structures. Examples of such factorization homology theories include intersection homology, compactly supported stratified mapping spaces, and Hochschild homology with coefficients. Our main theorem characterizes factorization homology theories b...
متن کاملSurgery and stratified spaces
The past couple of decades has seen significant progress in the theory of stratified spaces through the application of controlled methods as well as through the applications of intersection homology. In this paper we will give a cursory introduction to this material, hopefully whetting your appetite to peruse more thorough accounts. In more detail, the contents of this paper are as follows: the...
متن کاملPoincaré duality with cap products in intersection homology
For having a Poincaré duality via a cap product between the intersection homology of a paracompact oriented pseudomanifold and the cohomology given by the dual complex, G. Friedman and J. E. McClure need a coefficient field or an additional hypothesis on the torsion. In this work, by using the classical geometric process of blowing-up, adapted to a simplicial setting, we build a cochain complex...
متن کاملIntersection homology of stratified fibrations and neighborhoods
We derive spectral sequences for the intersection homology of stratified fibrations and approximate tubular neighborhoods in manifold stratified spaces. The neighborhoods include regular neighborhoods in PL stratified spaces. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 55N33, 55R20 (Secondary: 57N80, 55R65)
متن کاملCorrigendum to “Intersection homology with field coefficients: K-Witt spaces and K-Witt bordism”
This note corrects an error in the char(K) = 2 case of the author’s computation of the bordism groups of K-Witt spaces for the field K. A complete computation is provided for the unoriented bordism group. For the oriented bordism groups, a nearly complete computation is provided as well a discussion of the difficulty of resolving a remaining ambiguity in dimensions equivalent to 2 mod 4. Recall...
