The homotopy-wedge theorem for near-prisms

From papers

Let XX be a near-prism in direction ii, and define Bi(X)=deliXlinkiXB_i(X)=\operatorname{del}_i X\setminus\operatorname{link}_i X. Suppose that deliX\operatorname{del}_i X is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres

deliXjSjrj.\operatorname{del}_i X\simeq\bigvee_j S_j^{r_j}.

Near-prism homotopy theorem. Then XX is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres, specifically

XjSjrj+ci,j,X\simeq\bigvee_j S_j^{r_j+c_{i,j}},

where ci,jc_{i,j} is the number of jj-dimensional cells in Bi(X)B_i(X). This gives a recursive description of the homotopy type of near-prisms from that of their deletion and the cells in the associated boundary difference.
