TY - GEN CY - Heidelberg AV - public Y1 - 2022/// TI - Homotopically Stratified Cobordism Theories ID - heidok31297 N2 - This thesis studies the geometric properties related to certain transversality statements on singular spaces, in a purely topological setting. These enter in the main part -- the construction of a generalized homology theory realized via bordism of such singular spaces -- through the inverse of the excision-isomorphism, the most difficult aspect of that problem. The relevancy of this homology theory is due to the unification of both, possessing a geometric description, establishing geometric fundamental-classes, and at the same time being well-suited to study inherently topological phenomena, like homeomorphism-invariance of said fundamental-classes, even in the absence of pl-structures. As an application, the invariance of Goresky--MacPherson L-classes under certain homeomorphisms is demonstrated. A1 - Rabel, Martin UR - https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/31297/ ER -
