Abstract
Two DISTINCT notions of "isotopy" are commonly used to compare embeddings of a space X in another space Y. The main purpose of this paper is to study these relations, and how they differ, in the simplest interesting case: Y= some Euclidean space and X= a disjoint collection of spheres (in other words, the theory of links).Downloads
