We extend several -type theorems for connected, orientable homology manifolds without boundary to manifolds with boundary. As applications of these results we obtain Kühnel-type bounds on the Betti numbers as well as on certain weighted sums of Betti numbers of manifolds with boundary. Our main tool is the completion of a manifold with boundary ; it is obtained from by coning off the boundary of with a single new vertex. We show that despite the fact that has a singular vertex, its Stanley–Reisner ring shares a few properties with the Stanley–Reisner rings of homology spheres. We close with a discussion of a connection between three lower bound theorems for manifolds, PL-handle decompositions, and surgery.
