Homotopical intersection theory, III: Multirelative intersection problems

John R Klein and Bruce Williams

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 19 (2019) 1079–1134
Abstract

We extend some results of Hatcher and Quinn (1974) beyond the metastable range. We give a bordism-theoretic obstruction χ(f) to deforming a map f : P N between manifolds simultaneously off of a collection of pairwise disjoint submanifolds Q1,,Qj N under the assumption that f can be deformed off of any proper subcollection in a homotopy coherent way. In a certain range of dimensions, χ(f) is a complete obstruction to finding the desired deformation. We apply this machinery to embedding problems and to the study of linking phenomena.
