Abstract

We prove the refinement invariance of several intersection (co)homologies existing in the literature: Borel–Moore, Blownup, the classical one, … These (co)homologies have been introduced in order to establish the Poincaré Duality in various contexts. In particular, we retrieve the classical topological invariance of the intersection homology as well as several refinement invariance results already known.
