Algebraic and combinatorial codimension–1 transversality

Andrew Ranicki

Geometry & Topology Monographs 7 (2004) 145–180

DOI: 10.2140/gtm.2004.7.145
Abstract

The Waldhausen construction of Mayer–Vietoris splittings of chain complexes over an injective generalized free product of group rings is extended to a combinatorial construction of Seifert–van Kampen splittings of CW complexes with fundamental group an injective generalized free product.

Keywords
