Book DetailsMemoirs of the American Mathematical SocietyVolume: 86; 1990; 317 ppMSC: Primary 57
Requiring background in basic differential topology, this book is aimed at researchers interested in the homotopy type of spaces of smooth embeddings and spaces of diffeomorphisms. The author provides a proof of a useful connectivity estimate in the theory of concordances (or pseudo-isotopies), generalizing Morlet's result from triads to n-ads. The method of proof is a differentiable general position technique analogous to piecewise-linear ”sunny collapsing.”
