Abstract:

For $\mathcal {X}$ an abstract stratified set or a $(w)$-regular stratification, hence for any $(b)$-, $(c)$- or $(L)$-regular stratification, we prove that after stratified isotopy of $\mathcal {X}$, a stratified subspace $\mathcal {W}$ of $\mathcal {X}$, or a stratified map $h : \mathcal {Z} \to \mathcal {X}$, can be made transverse to a fixed stratified map $g: \mathcal {Y} \to \mathcal {X}$.
