The compression theorem II: directed embeddings

Colin Rourke and Brian Sanderson
Geometry & Topology 5 (2001) 431–440
DOI: 10.2140/gt.2001.5.431

Abstract

This is the second of three papers about the Compression Theorem. We give proofs of Gromov’s theorem on directed embeddings and of the Normal Deformation Theorem (a general version of the Compression Theorem).

Keywords
