Embeddings of exotic spheres
Let $\{S^n_u \mid u\in \text{some indexing set} \}$ be the set of all non-diffeomorphic $n$-spheres. Define $k_u$ to be the smallest number such that there exists a smooth embedding $S^n_u\hookrightar …

Is the diffeomorphism group of the Euclidean space generated by two simpler subgroups?
Consider the group $\mathrm{Diff}(\mathbb R^n)$ of smooth diffeomorphisms. It has two interesting subgroups:
the orthogonal group $O(n)$,
the group of "diffeomorphisms applied along each axis" $\math …
