Obstructions to the existence of \(({\mathcal F}', {\mathcal F})\)-resolutions (Q684350)

Given two graduate classes of links \(F' \subset F\) and a polyhedral \(F\)- manifold \(M\), the singular polyhedron of \(M\) ith respect to \(F'\) is the set of points of \(M\) whose links do not belong to \(F'\). In the paper, the authors develop an obstruction theory to solve singularities of \(M\). Indeed, they construct a suitable graduate group and prove that certain homology classes of this group vanish if and only if there exists an \((F',F)\)-resolution of \(M\), i.e. an \(F'\)-manifold \(M'\) which ``covers'' \(M\) via an \((F',F)\)-map.
