SPINES AND EMBEDDINGS OF n-MANIFOLDS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 1999
Abstract
Every compact, connected PL manifold Mn, with ∂Mn≠[emptyv ], collapses to a codimension-one subpolyhedron Qn−1, called a spine of Mn. The purpose of this paper is to prove that, if Qn−1 is appropriately chosen, one can reconstruct Mn from Qn−1, after taking the Cartesian product with an interval I=[0, 1].
