Stratifications of teardrops

Teardrops are generalizations of open mapping cylinders. We prove that the teardrop of a stratified approximate fibration X → Y × ℝ with X and Y homotopically stratified spaces is itself a homotopically stratified space (under mild hypothesis). This is applied to manifold stratified approximate fibrations between manifold stratified spaces in order to establish the realization part of a previously announced tubular neighborhood theory.
