Let π: X’ —” X be a double cover of 2n-dimensional Poincaré duality (PD) spaces. The double cover is a fibering so it is classified by a map f: X → RP1+1(l ≫ n). If the homotopy class of f contains a representative which is Poincaré transverse [5] to RPl ⊂ RPl+1, we say that w is Poincarésplit-table.
