1 Introduction
For notation and conventions throughout this page see high codimension embeddings.
2 General position and the Hopf linking
General Position Theorem 2.1. For each -manifold and , every two embeddings are isotopic.
The restriction in Theorem 2.1 is sharp for non-connected manifolds.
Example: the Hopf linking 2.2. For each there is an embedding which is not isotopic to the standard embedding.
For the Hopf Linking is shown in Figure~2.1.a of [Skopenkov2006]. For arbitrary (including ) the image of the Hopf Linking is the union of two -spheres:
3 The Haefliger-Zeeman classification
The following table was obtained by Zeeman around 1960:
Construction of the Zeeman map
Take Define embedding on to be the standard embedding into . Take any map . Define embedding on to be the composition
where is the equatorial inclusion and the latter inclusion is the standard. See Figure 3.2 of [Skopenkov2006].
