Abstract:
A thickening, in the topological category, of a complex K is an equivalence class of simple homotopy equivalences $\phi :K \to M$, where M is a topological manifold with boundary. Here it is shown that for stable thickenings ($\dim M \gg \dim K$), the set $\Im (K)$ of stable thickenings is in 1-1 correspondence with homotopy classes of maps of K into BTop.References
