Abstract:
In 1979, Trotman proved, using the techniques of the Thom transversality theorem, that under some conditions on the dimensions of the manifolds under consideration, openness of the set of maps transverse to a stratification in the strong (Whitney) topology implies that the stratification is $(a)$-regular. Here we first discuss the Thom transversality theorem for the weak topology and then give a similiar kind of result for the weak topology under very weak hypotheses. Recently, several transversality theorems have been proved for complex manifolds and holomorphic maps. In view of these transversality theorems we also prove a result analogous to Trotman’s result in the complex case.References
