Stratifications of inertia spaces of compact Lie group actions

Differential Geometry 2015-04-21 v2 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We study the topology of the inertia space of a smooth GG-manifold MM where GG is a compact Lie group. We construct an explicit Whitney stratification of the inertia space, demonstrating that the inertia space is a triangulable differentiable stratified space. In addition, we demonstrate a de Rham theorem for differential forms defined on the inertia space with respect to this stratification.
