In which dimensions is it true that every topological ball embedded by a smoothly embedded s...

I asked a question on MSE with no answer. Here is my question in the generalized version. Question 1: Suppose we are given a connected three-manifold $M$ (possibly non-compact, or non-orientable) and …

The boundary of the transversal pre-image of a submanifold with boundary

A similar question on MSE without answer. Let $M, N$ be smooth manifolds such that $\partial N=\varnothing$. Let $A$ be a smoothly embedded submanifold of $N$ such that $\partial A\neq \varnothing$. S …

Vanishing of Goldman bracket requires simple-closed representative?

Let $\Sigma$ be a connected oriented surface, and $[-,-]\colon \Bbb Z\big[\widehat\pi(\Sigma)\big]\times Z\big[\widehat\pi(\Sigma)\big]\to Z\big[\widehat\pi(\Sigma)\big]$ be the Goldman Bracket. Note …

Example of a non $\pi_1$-injective, degree one, self-map of a three-manifold

All manifolds will be assumed to be closed, oriented, and connected. Let $f\colon M\to M$ be a map of degree $\pm 1$. It is not hard to show that $\pi_1(f)$ is surjective. What is an example of a non …
