While intersection cohomology is stable under small resolutions, both ordinary and intersection cohomology are unstable under smooth deformation of singularities. For complex projective algebraic hypersurfaces with an isolated singularity, we show that the first author's cohomology of intersection spaces is stable under smooth deformations in all degrees except possibly the middle, and in the middle degree precisely when the monodromy action on the cohomology of the Milnor fiber is trivial.

The theory of intersection spaces assigns cell complexes to certain stratified topological pseudomanifolds depending on a perversity function in the sense of intersection homology. The main property…

Algebraic intersection spaces
We define a variant of intersection space theory that applies to many compact complex and real analytic spaces [Formula: see text], including all complex projective varieties; this is a significant…

Let $X$ a complex projective variety of complex dimension $n$ with only isolated singularities of simply connected links. We show that we can endow the rational cohomology of the family of the…
K-Theory of Intersection Spaces
The construction of an intersection space assigns to certain pseudomanifolds a topological space, called intersection space. This intersection space depends on a perversity and the reduced homology…
