May 5, 2017 at 23:43 comment added John Klein I have to work through this, but I think your argument seems to be correct.

May 5, 2017 at 23:11 comment added Gregory Arone Suppose $g$ fixes a subspace of dimension $k$ in ${\mathbb C}^n$. Then a small open neighborhood of $g$ in $\mathcal D$ is homeomorphic to a vector bundle of dimension $n^2-k^2$ over an open neighborhood of the identity in ${\mathcal D}_k\subset U(k)$. I think it follows that the local homology of $\mathcal D$ at $g$ is isomorphic to the local homology of ${\mathcal D}_k$ at the identity shifted up by $n^2-k^2$, essentially by a Thom isomorphism.
May 5, 2017 at 22:31 comment added John Klein Greg, I should have said that knew how to do that case already. I am pretty certain that that the argument for $g \ne I$ is going to be more complicated because the stratification is different at different points of $\cal D$. What idea do you you have in mind to reduce the general case to the one in your post? I think that may be the crux of the matter!
