Some remarks on the coefficients used in the theory of homology manifolds

Frank Albert Raymond

Vol. 15 (1965), No. 4, 1365–1376
Abstract

In the theory of generalized n-manifolds (n-gms) or Čech cohomology manifolds (n-cms), as developed principally by Wilder, the ring of coefficients had been a field. Due to the influence of transformation groups interest was aroused for more general coefficient systems. However, it is usually simpler to deal algebraically with coefficients in a field. Thus it becomes desirable to have a theorem which implies the validity of a result for n-cms over principal ideal domains when it is known to be valid for fields. The main result of our paper is devoted to such a theorem.
