Stratifications of mapping cylinders
نویسنده
چکیده
We characterize those maps between homotopically stratified spaces whose mapping cylinders are also homotopically stratified spaces. Two applications are offered. The first concerns locally flat submanifolds of topological manifolds, and the second concerns algebraic maps between algebraic varieties. 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Examples of exotic stratifications
We produce examples of manifold stratified pairs in which the lower strata do not have neighborhoods that are mapping cylinders of fiber bundles, or even block bundles. Moreover, the examples do not improve in this regard under stabilization by products with tori. The examples are locally conelike and the lower strata do have neighborhoods which are mapping cylinders of manifold approximate fib...
متن کاملStratified Path Spaces and Fibrations
The main objects of study are the homotopically stratified metric spaces introduced by Quinn. Closed unions of strata are shown to be stratified forward tame. Stratified fibrations between spaces with stratifications are introduced. Paths which lie in a single stratum except possibly at their initial points form a space with a natural stratification, and the evaluation map from that space of pa...
متن کاملF U N D a M E N T a Mathematicae Stratifications of Teardrops
Teardrops are generalizations of open mapping cylinders. We prove that the teardrop of a stratified approximate fibration X → Y ×R with X and Y homotopically stratified spaces is itself a homotopically stratified space (under mild hypothesis). This is applied to manifold stratified approximate fibrations between manifold stratified spaces in order to establish the realization part of a previous...
متن کاملNeighborhoods in Stratified Spaces with Two Strata
We develop a theory of tubular neighborhoods for the lower strata in manifold stratified spaces with two strata. In these topologically stratified spaces, manifold approximate fibrations and teardrops play the role that fibre bundles and mapping cylinders play in smoothly stratified spaces. Applications include the classification of neighborhood germs, the construction of exotic stratifications...
متن کاملGuided Visual Analysis for the Identification of Cancer Subtypes
Knowledge about cancer subtypes promises improved patient outcomes through refined therapeutic targeting. Gaining such knowledge is an important goal of integrative cancer genomics projects such as The Cancer Genome Atlas. Achieving this goal requires two steps: first, it is necessary to identify subsets of patient stratifications from millions of possible combinations in large cancer genomics ...
