Authors:
- A new cohomological approach to constructible sheaves on stratified spaces, which doesn't use the first isotopy lemma of Thom
- A self-contained approach to Morse theory for constructible sheaves, including a geometric introduction to the theory of characteristic cycles
- Very general vanishing and Lefschetz theorems of Artin-Grothendieck type in the complex algebraic and analytic context, which apply in particular to intersection (co)homology and perverse sheaves

About this book
Assuming that the reader is familiar with sheaf theory, the book gives a self-contained introduction to the theory of constructible sheaves related to many kinds of singular spaces, such as cell complexes, triangulated spaces, semialgebraic and subanalytic sets, complex algebraic or analytic sets, stratified spaces, and quotient spaces. The relation to the underlying geometrical ideas are worked out in detail, together with many applications to the topology of such spaces. All chapters have their own detailed introduction, containing the main results and definitions, illustrated in simple terms by a number of examples. The technical details of the proof are postponed to later sections, since these are not needed for the applications.
