Metric invariance of the homology of traversally generic differential complexes
Let be a compact connected smooth -manifold with boundary, let be a traversally generic Riemannian metric on , and let be a commutative ring. The metric determines the differential complexes and of free -modules, with terms and differentials defined from the indicated relative cohomology constructions and boundary homomorphisms.
Metric-invariance conjecture. The homology groups of these differential complexes depend only on the connected component of the space of traversally generic metrics on containing .
The complexes package the stratification data associated with the geodesic flow and are intended to provide localized Poincare-duality invariants. The source states the construction and componentwise invariance, but gives no evidence of a resolution, so the claim is recorded as open.
