Talk:Intersection cohomology

I think intersection homology would be a more standard page title here. Charles Matthews 15:34, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I agree! It should say "Intersection Homology". That is also what Goresky and MacPherson use. (129.206.26.185 00:11, 13 January 2007 (UTC))[reply]

History[edit]

Somebody should write about the history of IC. References? Mhym 20:08, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed[edit]

The statement that IC_X \otimes IC_X is the Verdier dualizing object D_X is false; there is a canonical map IC_X \otimes IC_X --> D_X which induces a dual pairing, but it is almost never an isomorphism. It's not immediately clear how to fix the original author's intended development without a major rewrite. TCBraden 18:46, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
