Abstract:
A definition of PL transversality is given, using the orderreversing duality on partially ordered sets. David Stone’s theory of stratified polyhedra is thereby simplified; in particular, the symmetry of blocktransversality is proved. Also, polyhedra satisfying Poincaré duality are characterized geometrically.References
