Description for Embeddings in Manifolds (Graduate Studies in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Analyzes how and when objects like polyhedra or manifolds embed in a given higher-dimensional manifold. This book offers description of the various classic examples of wild embeddings. It provides details of the codimension-three proofs, including the requisite piecewise linear tools. Series: Graduate Studies in Mathematics. Num Pages: 474 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBM; PBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 257 x 183 x 31. Weight in Grams: 1034.
A topological embedding is a homeomorphism of one space onto a subspace of another. The book analyzes how and when objects like polyhedra or manifolds embed in a given higher-dimensional manifold. The main problem is to determine when two topological embeddings of the same object are equivalent in the sense of differing only by a homeomorphism of the ambient manifold. Knot theory is the special case of spheres smoothly embedded in spheres; in this book, much more general spaces and much more general embeddings are considered. A key aspect of the main problem is taming: when is a topological embedding ... Read more
