Singularities, double points, controlled topology and chain duality
Documenta mathematica, Tome 4 (1999), pp. 1-59
A manifold is a Poincaré duality space without singularities. McCrory obtained a homological criterion of a global nature for deciding if a polyhedral Poincaré duality space is a homology manifold, i.e. if the singularities are homologically inessential. A homeomorphism of manifolds is a degree 1 map without double points. In this paper combinatorially controlled topology and chain complex methods are used to provide a homological criterion of a global nature for deciding if a degree 1 map of polyhedral homology manifolds has acyclic point inverses, i.e. if the double points are homologically inessential.
