چکیده
We show that the fundamental theorem of immersion theory admits a Poincaré duality space analogue. Along the way, we obtain new homotopy theoretic proofs of the existence and uniqueness of the Spivak normal fibration of a closed Poincaré space.

Invariants of Generic Immersions
An immersion of a smooth manifold M into a smooth manifold W is a smooth map with everywhere injective differential. Two immersions are regularly homotopic if they can be connected by a continuous 1-parameter family of immersions. An immersion is generic if all its self-intersections are transversal. In the space F of immersions M → W , generic immersions form an open dense subspace. Its comple...
متن کاملOn Conformal Biharmonic Immersions
This paper studies conformal biharmonic immersions. We first study the transformations of Jacobi operator and the bitension field under conformal change of metrics. We then obtain an invariant equation for a conformal biharmonic immersion of a surface into Euclidean 3-space. As applications, we construct a 2-parameter family of non-minimal conformal biharmonic immersions of cylinder into R and ...
متن کاملAn Existence Theorem for G-structure Preserving Affine Immersions
We prove an existence result for local and global G-structure preserving affine immersions between affine manifolds. Several examples are discussed in the context of Riemannian and semi-Riemannian geometry, including the case of isometric immersions into Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant metric, and the case of isometric immersions into products of space forms.
متن کاملQuadratic Differentials, Quaternionic Forms, and Surfaces
In this paper we address three problems stemming from the fundamental question: Let M be an oriented surface, how much data do we need to identify an immersion f : M → R or its shape? A generic immersion f is determined up to homothety and translation by its conformal class and its tangent plane map Tf : M → Gr(2, 3) whose value Tf (p) at each point p ∈ M is the plane tangent to the image surfa...
متن کاملA Tight Polyhedral Immersion of the Twisted Surface of Euler Characteristic −3
Early studies of tight surfaces showed that almost every surface can be immersed tightly in three-space. For these surfaces we can ask: How many significantly different tight immersions are there? If we consider two such immersions to be the same when they are image homotopic, then we can answer the question by determining the number of homotopy classes where tight immersions are possible. A co...
