Let $ M $ be a smooth and compact manifold with boundary $\partial M = X \times F $ on which the structure of a smooth locally trivial bundle $$ \pi: \partial M \longrightarrow X $$
where the $ X $  and the fiber $ F $ are smooth compact manifolds without boundary. Consider the equivalence relation on the set M
\begin{equation}
z \sim z^{\prime} \Longleftrightarrow z = z^{\prime} \quad \text {or} \quad (z, z^ {\prime} \in \partial M \quad \text{and} \quad \pi(z) = \pi (z^{\prime})).
\end{equation}
We define the topological space $ N = M / \sim $ as the quotient space of the manifold M with respect to the equivalence relation above.
Informally speaking, $ N $ is obtained from $ M $ (by contracting the fibers of the bundle $ \pi $ to points). The set $ N $ is a disjoint union $ N = X \sqcup M^{\circ} $ of the manifold $ X $ and the interior  $ M^{\circ} $ of $ M $. The natural projection of $$ p: M \longrightarrow N $$ coincides with the identity map on $ M ^ {\circ} $ and the projection $ \pi $ on $ \partial M $.
So the manifold $N$ can be not smooth sometimes.
How to define the map $I : H^{n-k}_{dR}(M)\longrightarrow H_{k}(N)$ when $F$ is not a singleton?
