Using blow-up for handle attachment
In basic surgery theory, it is clear what happens topologically when one "adds a handle", but getting the smooth structure right requires care. For example, in identifying opposite sides of a rectang …

$\pi_4$ of simply-connected 4-manifold
First an important distinction: "Each element in $\pi_3(\vee S^2)$ has description in terms of linking number of point preimages (circles in $S^3$) of map $S^3 \to S^2$" is not a fully correct stateme …

Intersection map giving rise to Poincaré duality
In a related and highly relevant comment thread, Mike Miller pointed me to this preprint of Lipyanskiy. I'm sure there are arguments which work, such as what Joshua and Dmitri and I discuss in the co …

Intersection map giving rise to Poincaré duality
Let $M$ be a smoothly triangulated compact $d$-dimensional manifold. Consider the subcomplex $C_*^{\pitchfork T}(M)$ of smooth singular chains which are transverse to the triangulation. An inductive …
