Given a map f from M to N, we give homological conditions under which g^{-1}(B) has nontrivial cohomology (with local coefficients) for any map g homotopic to f. We also show that a certain cohomology class in H^j(N,N-B) is Poincare dual (with local coefficients) under f^* to the image of a corresponding class in H_{n+k-j}(f^{-1}(B)) when f is transverse to B. This generalizes a similar formula of D Gottlieb in the case of simple coefficients.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-04-27T14:47:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55M20", "55S35" ], "keywords": [ "local coefficients", "compact smooth manifolds", "simple coefficients", "poincare dual", "cohomology class" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0904.4177L" } } }
