    De Rham intersection cohomology for general perversities

    Get PDF
    For a stratified pseudomanifold XX, we have the de Rham Theorem \lau{\IH}{*}{\per{p}}{X} = \lau{\IH}{\per{t} - \per{p}}{*}{X}, for a perversity \per{p} verifying \per{0} \leq \per{p} \leq \per{t}, where \per{t} denotes the top perversity. We extend this result to any perversity \per{p}. In the direction cohomology \mapsto homology, we obtain the isomorphism \lau{\IH}{*}{\per{p}}{X} = \lau{\IH}{\per{t} -\per{p}}{*}{X,\ib{X}{\per{p}}}, where {\displaystyle \ib{X}{\per{p}} = \bigcup\_{S \preceq S\_{1} \atop \per{p} (S\_{1})< 0}S = \bigcup\_{\per{p} (S)< 0}\bar{S}.} In the direction homology \mapsto cohomology, we obtain the isomorphism \lau{\IH}{\per{p}}{*}{X}=\lau{\IH}{*}{\max (\per{0},\per{t} -\per{p})}{X}. In our paper stratified pseudomanifolds with one-codimensional strata are allowed

    The BIC of a singular foliation defined by an abelian group of isometries

    Full text link
    We study the cohomology properties of the singular foliation \F determined by an action Φ ⁣:G×MM\Phi \colon G \times M\to M where the abelian Lie group GG preserves a riemannian metric on the compact manifold MM. More precisely, we prove that the basic intersection cohomology \lau{\IH}{*}{\per{p}}{\mf} is finite dimensional and verifies the Poincar\'e Duality. This duality includes two well-known situations: -- Poincar\'e Duality for basic cohomology (the action Φ\Phi is almost free). -- Poincar\'e Duality for intersection cohomology (the group GG is compact and connected)

    Intersection Homology. General perversities and topological invariance

    Full text link
    Topological invariance of the intersection homology of a pseudomanifold without codimension one strata, proven by Goresky and MacPherson, is one of the main features of this homology. This property is true for codimension-dependent perversities with some growth conditions, verifying p(1)=p(2)=0\overline p(1)=\overline p(2)=0. King reproves this invariance by associating an intrinsic pseudomanifold XX^* to any pseudomanifold XX. His proof consists of an isomorphism between the associated intersection homologies Hp(X)Hp(X)H^{\overline{p}}_{*}(X) \cong H^{\overline{p}}_{*}( X^*) for any perversity p\overline{p} with the same growth conditions verifying p(1)0\overline p(1)\geq 0. In this work, we prove a certain topological invariance within the framework of strata-dependent perversities, p\overline{p}, which corresponds to the classical topological invariance if p\overline{p} is a GM-perversity. We also extend it to the tame intersection homology, a variation of the intersection homology, particularly suited for ``large'' perversities, if there is no singular strata on XX becoming regular in XX^*. In particular, under the above conditions, the intersection homology and the tame intersection homology are invariant under a refinement of the stratification
