The Chess conjecture

Abstract

We prove that the homotopy class of a Morin mapping f : Pp Qq with p q odd contains a cusp mapping. This affirmatively solves a strengthened version of the Chess conjecture [DS Chess, A note on the classes [S1k(f)], Proc. Symp. Pure Math., 40 (1983) 221–224] and [VI Arnol’d, VA Vasil’ev, VV Goryunov, OV Lyashenko, Dynamical systems VI. Singularities, local and global theory, Encyclopedia of Mathematical Sciences - Vol. 6 (Springer, Berlin, 1993)]. Also, in view of the Saeki–Sakuma theorem [O Saeki, K Sakuma, Maps with only Morin singularities and the Hopf invariant one problem, Math. Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. 124 (1998) 501–511] on the Hopf invariant one problem and Morin mappings, this implies that a manifold Pp with odd Euler characteristic does not admit Morin mappings into 2k+1 for p 2k + 11,3,7.
