On the embeddability of [3]*K

Publication date: 17 January 2020

Abstract: We relate the embeddability of the simplicial complex

[3] * K

into

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

to that of

K

into

m a t h b b R^{n}

. In brief, the embeddability of

K

into

m a t h b b R^{n}

, in the metastable range

2 n g e q 3 (d + 1)

, is equivalent to the embeddability of

[3] * K

into

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

. We show moreover than the van Kampen obstruction of

K

vanishes if and only if the van Kampen obstruction of

[3] * K

vanishes. It follows that for

d = 2

, embeddabilty of

[3] * K

is equivalent with the vanishing of the van Kampen obstruction for

K

, but not with the embeddability of

K

.
