Any smooth knot S^n R^n+2 is isotopic to a cubic knot contained in the canonical scaffolding of R^n+2

Abstract: The

n

-skeleton of the canonical cubulation

c a l C

of

m a t h b b R^{n + 2}

into unit cubes is called the {it canonical scaffolding}

c a l S

. In this paper, we prove that any smooth, compact, closed,

n

-dimensional submanifold of

m a t h b b R^{n + 2}

with trivial normal bundle can be continuously isotoped by an ambient isotopy to a cubic submanifold contained in

c a l S

. In particular, any smooth knot

m a t h b b S^{n} h o o k r i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b R^{n + 2}

can be continuously isotoped to a knot contained in

c a l S

.
