Abstract |
|
We show in that the space of involutions of the 3-sphere whose fixed point sets are 2-spheres is pathwise and locally pathwise connected. From Smith theory it is known that these involutions are orientation reversing. The fixed point sets need not be tame 2-spheres; Bing and others have many examples of involutions of the 3-sphere whose fixed point sets are wild 2-spheres. |
