Polynomial (non-)embedding of a simplex in euclidean space

I am curious what you have tried, since writing the question as $$\mathbf{f}(t) - \mathbf{f}(s) = \mathbf{w},$$ With $t, s$ constrained to lie in the simplex and $w$ constrained to have norm smaller …

Mathematical value of constructing sphere eversions

It depends on what you view as the purpose of mathematics is. If your view is constructivist (mine is), then proving that some object (in your case, a sphere eversion) exists is only the first (some w …

Contractibility of space of embeddings of a disc

I believe at least the second (and somewhat more tentatively, the first) of the questions is answered (in much greater generality) in: Homotopy types of the components of spaces of embeddings of compact …

Questions on J. F. Nash's answer about his errors in the proof of embedding theorem

"Excess dimensions": If a manifold can be topologically embedded in $\mathbb{R}^N,$ and you can prove that it can be isometrically embedded in $\mathbb{R}^M,$ then the quantity he is talking about is …
