[For the entire collection see Zbl 0755.00016.] Let \(X\) be a closed algebraic subvariety of \(\mathbb{C}^ m\). Consider two proper algebraic embeddings \(f,g:X\to\mathbb{C}^ n\), where \(n\geq\max(1+2\dim X,\dim TX)\). The main result says that \(f,g\) are isotopic via proper algebraic embeddings. If \(X\) is non-singular, the estimate \(n\geq 2\dim X+1\) cannot be improved. The author also proves that for every algebraic embedding \(f:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}^ n\) there exists a holomorphic automorphism \(\alpha\) of \(\mathbb{C}^ n\) such that \(\alpha\circ f\) is a linear embedding, and that for every \(n\geq 3\) it is not true for \(f\) being a proper holomorphic embedding. In this way the author improves a result of Nori and disproves a conjecture by Bell and Narasimhan. The paper is a continuation of the author's previous work [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 113, No. 2, 325-334 (1991; Zbl 0743.14011)].
