Who proved that two homotopic embeddings of one surface in another are isotopic?
If $\Sigma_1$ and $\Sigma_2$ are two compact topological surfaces with boundary and $\phi, \psi : \Sigma_1 \hookrightarrow \Sigma_2$ are two orientation-preserving embeddings that are homotopic, then …

Decomposition of a closed surface
It's the same proof. Take a topological pants decomposition as before, and look for a minimal-length representative on your given Riemannian metric. Then you invoke the theorem that if you have a simp …

Computing the hopf invariant (without integration or homology, as in Milnor) of the hopf map
If you have the Hopf link embedded in some standard way in $\mathbb{R}^3$, you can see the linking number as given by the degree of a map $S^1 \times S^1 \to S^2$ in a number of ways. For instance, t …
