Abstract
Let be a compact oriented PL manifold and let be its PL chain complex. The domain of the chain-level intersection pairing is a subcomplex of . We prove that the inclusion map from this subcomplex to is a quasi-isomorphism. An analogous result is true for the domain of the iterated intersection pairing. Using this, we show that the intersection pairing gives a structure of partially defined commutative DGA, which in particular implies that is canonically quasi-isomorphic to an chain algebra.
