Multiple disjunction conjecture for spaces of Poincare embeddings
Multiple disjunction conjecture for spaces of Poincare embeddings
Let be a smooth compact -dimensional manifold. Let , with , be pairwise disjoint compact submanifolds of transverse to , and let be the handle dimension of relative to . Let be a compact manifold triad, let be the handle dimension of relative to , and suppose that an embedding is given, disjoint from for all . For , set . Multiple disjunction conjecture. In this situation the -dimensional cubical diagram formed by the spaces is -cartesian. In the cited work, this is proved when and ; the conjecture concerns the remaining cases and expresses the expected multiple-disjunction connectivity for spaces of embeddings.
