Topological invariance of torsion-sensitive intersection homology (Q6077282)

Categories of torsion-sensitive perverse sheaves were introduced in [\textit{G. Friedman}, Mich. Math. J. 68, No. 4, 675--726 (2019; Zbl 1439.55008)] in order to unify several intersection homology duality theorems, see [\textit{M. Goresky} and \textit{R. MacPherson}, Topology 19, 135--165 (1980; Zbl 0448.55004), \textit{M. Goresky} and \textit{R. MacPherson}, Invent. Math. 72, 77--129 (1983; Zbl 0529.55007), \textit{M. Goresky} and \textit{P. Siegel}, Comment. Math. Helv. 58, 96--110 (1983; Zbl 0529.55008), \textit{S. E. Cappell} and \textit{J. L. Shaneson}, Ann. Math. (2) 134, No. 2, 325--374 (1991; Zbl 0759.55002)], as special cases of a more general duality theorem in which torsion phenomena are encoded into the sheaf complexes. The torsion-sensitive-Deligne sheaves are a generalisation of Deligne sheaves on stratified pseudomaniflods, [\textit{A. Beilinson} et al., Faisceaux pervers. Actes du colloque ``Analyse et Topologie sur les Espaces Singuliers''. Partie I. 2nd edition. Paris: Société Mathématique de France (SMF) (2018; Zbl 1390.14055)], since they are the intermediate extensions of torsion-sensitive coefficient systems and they can be characterised by a set of axioms which generalise the ones by Goresky and MacPherson for ordinary Deligne sheaves. This paper is devoted to the study of the topological invariance (up to quasi-isomorphism) of the torsion-sensitive-Deligne sheaves. For the classical Deligne sheaves this problem was considered in [\textit{M. Goresky} and \textit{R. MacPherson}, Invent. Math. 72, 77--129 (1983; Zbl 0529.55007), \textit{H. C. King}, Topology Appl. 20, 149--160 (1985; Zbl 0568.55003)]. The topological invariance in the torsion sensitive category is achieved in Theorem 3.6; this theorem recovers (with a different proof) the original Goresky-MacPherson theorem [\textit{M. Goresky} and \textit{R. MacPherson}, Invent. Math. 72, 77--129 (1983; Zbl 0529.55007)], as well as results in [\textit{D. Chataur} et al., Ill. J. Math. 63, No. 1, 127--163 (2019; Zbl 1451.55002), \textit{N. Habegger} and \textit{L. Saper}, Invent. Math. 105, No. 2, 247--272 (1991; Zbl 0759.55003)].
