Poincaré duality

Hatcher §3.3 (pages 230–260). Mapped, not yet decomposed.

For a closed R-orientable n-manifold M, cap product with the fundamental class [M] ∈ Hₙ(M; R) is an isomorphism Hᵏ(M; R) ≅ H_{n−k}(M; R). The section first has to make orientation and the fundamental class precise, which it does through the local homology groups Hₙ(M, M − {x}), then proves the duality theorem by a direct limit argument over compact sets, then connects it to cup product and derives Alexander and Lefschetz duality.

This is the deepest result in the mapped portion of the book and the furthest from Mathlib. It needs all of Chapter 2, all of §3.1 and §3.2, and a treatment of manifolds compatible with Mathlib's existing Manifold hierarchy. It is mapped to fix the target, not because it is close.
