Abstract

Let Σ\Sigma be a simply connected rational homology sphere. A pair of disjoint closed submanifolds M+,MM_+, M_- in Σ\Sigma are called dual to each other if the complement ΣM+\Sigma - M_+ strongly homotopy retracts onto MM_- or vice-versa. In this paper we will give a complete answer of which integral triples (n;m+,m)(n; m_+, m_-) can appear, where n=dimΣ1n=dim \Sigma -1, m+=codimM+1m_+={codim}M_+ -1 and m=codimM1m_-={codim}M_- -1.
