Intersectional pairs of n-knots, local moves of n-knots, and their associated invariants of n-knots

Abstract: Let

n

be an integer

g e q q 0

. Let

S_{1}^{n + 2}

(respectively,

S_{2}^{n + 2}

) be the

(n + 2)

-sphere embedded in the

(n + 4)

-sphere

S^{n + 4}

. Let

S_{1}^{n + 2}

and

S_{2}^{n + 2}

intersect transversely. Suppose that the smooth submanifold,

S_{1}^{n + 2} c a p S_{2}^{n + 2}

in

S_{i}^{n + 2}

is PL homeomophic to the

n

-sphere. Then

S_{1}^{n + 2}

and

S_{2}^{n + 2}

in

S_{i}^{n + 2}

is an

n

-knot

K_{i}

. We say that the pair

(K_{1}, K_{2})

of n-knots is realizable. We consider the following problem in this paper. Let

A_{1}

and

A_{2}

be n-knots. Is the pair

(A_{1}, A_{2})

of

n

-knots realizable? We give a complete characterization.
