1 Introduction

Most of this page is intended not only for specialists in embeddings, but also for mathematician from other areas who want to apply or to learn the theory of embeddings.

Recall that some Unknotting Theorems hold for manifolds with boundary [Skopenkov2016c, \S3], [Skopenkov2006, \S2]. In this page we present results peculiar for manifold with non-empty boundary.

For a general introduction to embeddings as well as the notation and conventions used on this page, we refer to [Skopenkov2016c, \S1, \S3].

2 Unknotting Theorems

Theorem 2.1. Assume N is a compact connected n-manifold and one of the following conditions holds:

(a) (General position theorem) m \ge 2n+2;

(b) (Whitney-Wu unknotting theorem) m\ge2n+1\ge5;

Then any two embeddings of N into \R^m are isotopic.

Theorem 2.2. Every n-manifold N with nonempty boundary PL-embeds into \R^{2n-1}.

This result can be found in [Horvatic1971, theorem 5.2]

Theorem 2.3. Assume N is a compact connected n-manifold with non-empty boundary and one of the following conditions holds:

(a) m \ge 2n\ge4?

(b) N is 1-connected, m \ge 2n - 1\ge3?

Then any two embeddings of N into \R^m are isotopic.

Theorem 2.4. Say n-manifold M is compact, \partial M\neq\emptyset. Let f, g\colon M \to \R^q be PL-embeddings, q-n > 3. Suppose(M, \partial M)is(2n-q)-connected. Thenfandg$ are ambient isotopic.

This result can be found in [Hudson1969, Theorem 10.3]

Theorem 2.5. [The Haefliger-Zeeman unknotting theorem] For every n\ge2k + 2, m \ge 2n - k + 1 and closed k-connected n-manifold N, any two embeddings of N into \R^m are isotopic.
