A Cheeger space is a smoothly stratified pseudomanifold which is in general non-Witt but that admits an additional structure along the strata that allows for the definition of ideal boundary conditions. An interesting example is given by the reductive Borel-Serre compactification of a Hilb

Flows on surfaces are one of the fundamental examples of dynamical systems, studied since Poincaré; area preserving flows arise from many physical and mathematical examples, such as the Novikov model of electrons in a metal, unfolding of billiards in polygons, pseudo-periodic topology. In
