2 Part I Review of intersection homology

3 Singular intersection homology Perversities A perversity on a topologically stratified space X is a function p : {strata of X } Z. If 1. p(s) = p(codim S) for some p : N Z 2. p(k) = 0 for k 2 3. p(k + 1) = p(k) or p(k) + 1. then it is a Goresky MacPherson (GM) perversity.

If 1. p(s) = p(codim S) for some p : N Z 2. p(k) = 0 for k 2 3. p(k + 1) = p(k) or p(k) + 1. then it is a Goresky MacPherson (GM) perversity. Examples the zero perversity 0(k) = 0 the top perversity t(k) = max{k 2, 0} the lower middle perversity m(k) = max{ (k 2)/2, 0} the upper middle perversity n(k) = max{ (k 2)/2, 0} GM perversities p and q are complementary if p + q = t.

10 Filtered spaces and depth functions Filtered spaces A filtered space X α is a topological space with a filtration = X 1 X 0 X 1 X 2 X = X. A filtered map f : X α Y β is a map with f (X k ) Y k k N. Depth functions The filtration on X α is encoded in the depth function α: X N where α(x) = k x X k X k 1 so X k = α 1 {0,..., k} and f : X α Y β filtered α β f.

11 Examples of filtered spaces 1. A filtered space of depth 1 is a pair X 0 X 1 = X ; a filtered map of such is a map of pairs.

12 Examples of filtered spaces 1. A filtered space of depth 1 is a pair X 0 X 1 = X ; a filtered map of such is a map of pairs. 2. Filtering a CW complex by its skeleta fully faithfully embeds CW complexes and cellular maps into filtered spaces.

45 Part IV Cap products and Poincaré Duality?

46 Alternative filtration for simplices Let n δ denote the n-simplex with filtration δ (t 0,..., t n ) = min{i t n i 0} and FS X α the associated complex of filtered chains Proposition There is a homotopy equivalence FS X α FS X α provided by composition with id : n δ n δ and barycentric subdivision. So filtered homology can be computed using either complex.

47 Cap products Filtered homology as a module The inclusions of the back faces of n δ are filtered. The usual cap product formula restricts to S i X S j X α S j i X α inducing H i X FH j X α FH j i X α, so that FH X α is an H X -module.

The usual cap product formula restricts to S i X S j X α S j i X α inducing H i X FH j X α FH j i X α, so that FH X α is an H X -module. Generalised Poincaré duality? A more refined approach should yield a cap product where p + q = t. FH i Xˆp FH j Xˆ0 FH j ixˆq 1
