Proof. The statement is true for unoriented by Lemmas 3.2.3, 7.4.19 and 7.4.20. It follows from Lemmas 7.4.28 and 7.3.22 that it holds for any connected non-singular , by embedding it in . So, the lemma holds for any non-singular . By realizing an arbitrary as a quotient of its non-singular cover, we deduce from Lemmas 7.4.28 and 7.3.22 that the lemma holds for any . ∎
