About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This is an excellent book, highly recommended to anyone interested in studying the topology of singular spaces. With modest prerequisites, the author defines intersection homology (both chain- and sheaf-theoretic), gives a self-contained treatment of t-structures and perverse sheaves, and explains the construction as well as algebraic and geometric properties of invariants such as the signature and L-classes associated to self-dual sheaves." (Laurentiu G. Maxim, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007 j)
"In the book, the construction of these invariants for stratified singular spaces is presented, as well as some methods for their computation. Well written and with modest prerequisites concerning (co)homology theory, simplicial complexes and some basic notions of differential topology, the book is accessible to graduate students. Also, it is useful for the research mathematician wishing to learn about intersection homology and the invariants of singular spaces." (Gheorghe Pitis, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1108 (10), 2007)
