Abstract

Our main theorem provides an (R,K)(R,K) chain isomorphism: TΔXC(XK) T\Delta^*X\cong C(X_K) . Here TT is the Ranicki Duality functor; ΔX\Delta^*X is the simplicial cochain complex of the simplicial complex XX, with control map π:XK\pi:X \to K and C(XK)C(X_K) is the cellular chain complex of a CW complex XKX_K.
