Hodge theory on Cheeger spaces (Q1992247)

In this paper the authors extend to the stratified pseudomanifolds the study of the de Rham operator with ideal boundary conditions of isolated conic singularities. They show that the de Rham operator with these boundary conditions is Fredholm and has compact resolvent, and they prove that the resulting Hodge and \(L^2\) de Rham cohomology groups are isomorph and independent of the choice of the iterated edge metric. Finally they show that on the so-called Cheeger spaces, the Hodge cohomology groups and the de Rham cohomology groups satisfy the Poincaré duality.
