Cette note évoque les premiers travaux de J.-L. Koszul (1947-1950) en les replaçant dans leur cadre historique et retrace en particulier le chemin qui a conduit Koszul à la résolution qui porte son nom.
We show that all finite-dimensional resolvable generalized manifolds with the piecewise disjoint arc-disk property are codimension one manifold factors. We then show how the piecewise disjoint arc-disk property and other general position properties that detect codimension one manifold factors are related. We also note that in every example presently known to the authors of a codimension one manifold factor of dimension n ≥ 4 determined by general position properties, the piecewise disjoint arc-disk...
