Weiss tower obstruction conjecture for embedding immersions
Weiss tower obstruction conjecture for embedding immersions
Let and be manifolds of dimensions and , respectively, and let be an immersion equipped with a lift . For , let be the relevant coefficient spectrum, let be the complement of the fat-diagonal pullback, and let be the induced virtual bundle. Weiss tower obstruction conjecture. There is an obstruction
that vanishes when lifts to . Conversely, if
then vanishing of implies that lifts to an embedding of in . This conjecture seeks to extend the complete obstruction theory for deforming immersions to embeddings beyond the metastable range, using the Weiss embedding tower; the stated dimension inequalities are the range in which the converse is proposed.
