Abstract:
A theory of tubular neighborhoods for strata in manifold stratified spaces is developed. In these topologically stratified spaces, manifold stratified approximate fibrations and teardrops play the role that fibre bundles and mapping cylinders play in smoothly stratified spaces. Applications include a multiparameter isotopy extension theorem, neighborhood germ classification and a topological version of Thom's First Isotopy Theorem.
