Thoroughly Knotted Homology Spheres

For H n a homology n-sphere, consider the problem of classifying locally flat imbeddings H n•'-• S n+2 up to isotopy. Since any imbedding may be altered by adding knots S n• S n+2, the classification problem is at least as complex as the isotopy classification of knots. Elsewhere [8] we show that there is a natural correspondence between k ot heory and the classification of those imbeddings H n...
