The Hirzebruch homology allows to define a characteristic class for manifolds which is a sort of integral L-class. This class is related to the Novikov conjecture and to the general problem of classifying manifolds. Our construction is based on one side on Kreck's theory of stratifolds and on the other side on Markus Banagl's theory of self-dual complexes of sheaves. As a corollary we can show that the Hirzebruch fundamental class of a manifold is a topological invariant and we get therefore a slight generalization of Novikov's famous theorem about the topological invariance of the rational Pontrjagin classes. abstract_translated_lang: eng class_scheme: msc class_labels: 14F05, 55N33, 55N30, 55N22, 55N35 date: 2004 date_type: published id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00004558 ppn_swb: 1643696734 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-45584 date_accepted: 2004-03-30 advisor: HASH(0x564e1c7030e8) language: eng bibsort: MINATTAAUGHIRZEBRUCH2004 full_text_status: public citation: Minatta, Augusto (2004) Hirzebruch Homology.
