There are uncountably many open 3-manifolds (non-compact and no boundary) that embed in no compact 3-manifold (suggested by Kister and McMillan and proven by Haken). See reviews MR0144322 and MR0482767. This was generalized to n dimensions in the unpublished thesis of R. Sternfeld. See genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=9614 | |
