    This paper affirms the conjecture of Goresky and Siegel that the L-groups \(L^*(Z)\) of Mishchenko and Ranicki are geometrically realized as bordism groups \(\Omega_*^{IP}\) of pseudomanifolds whose intersection homology groups satisfy Poincaré duality. The paper also formulates a characteristic variety theorem as proposed by Sullivan. Specifically [X,G/TOP] is given by \({\tilde \Omega}{}^ o_{IP}(X)per\), a related 4- fold periodic cohomology theory.
