The Haefliger-type h-principle conjecture for totally nonparallel immersions
Let be a smooth closed manifold of dimension , and let denote its ordered configuration space of two distinct points. The unordered configuration space is , where interchanges the two points. Let . Haefliger-type h-principle conjecture. If there exists an immersion
then there exists a totally nonparallel immersion . This is proposed as a totally nonparallel analogue of Haefliger's embedding theorem: an immersion of the unordered configuration space should provide the obstruction-theoretic data needed to construct a totally nonparallel immersion in the indicated dimension range. The paper does not establish this converse, although it proves existence of totally nonparallel immersions into by other methods.
