Extract

In [1] Marc Feighn proves the following result: a proper, C2, codimension-1 immersion in a manifold with no first homology separates the ambient space. In [4] Michelangelo Vaccaro proves a related result: the C1-immersed image of a compact n-manifold with image a (curved) polyhedron has non-zero Hn with ℤ2 coefficients. (In Vaccaro's terminology f(M) is a curved polyhedron if f is smooth and f(M) is the (non-PL) embedded image of a simplicial complex.) Using ideas similar to Feighn's we prove here the following result.
