Abstract:
This paper defines a notion of topological regular neighborhood for compact triangulable subspaces of topological manifolds, proves a uniqueness theorem for such neighborhoods, and shows that this theorem is in a sense the best possible. These results have obvious applications to regular neighborhoods in manifolds having more than one piecewise linear structure.References
