Intersection Cohomology. Simplicial Blow-up and Rational Homotopy
Abstract
In this text, we extend Sullivan's presentation of rational homotopy type to Goresky and MacPherson's intersection cohomology. We choose the context of face sets, also called simplicial sets without degeneracies, in the sense of Rourke and Sanderson. We define filtered face sets, perverse local systems over them and intersection cohomology with coe
