For a (smoothly) triangulated $n$ manifold $M$, I'll say that the triangulation is amphichiral if it admits an orientation-reversing automorphism. I'll say that the triangulation is locally ...

Say we have a nice topological space $X$ with two nice (finite, conical...) stratifications $A$ and $B$ such that $B$ is coarser than $A$. Then we have a natural embedding of categories of ...
